Prerequisites​

Before creating an Insights Hub credential, you need to identify the test URL for authentication. Insights Hub uses no authentication for API requests, but requires a test URL to validate the credential configuration.

To prepare for credential creation, ensure you have the following:

  1. Data Feed URL: You should have access to your Insights Hub data feed URL or Nexset's Data Feed API URL. This URL will be used to fetch data from the Insights Hub endpoint.

  2. Test URL: You can use the default Nexla Echo URL (https://test-be.nexla.com/echo) for testing authentication, or you can enter your Nexset's Data Feed API URL if you have one available.

The Insights Hub connector uses no authentication, which means API requests are made without authentication headers or tokens. The test URL is used to validate that the credential configuration is correct and that the endpoint is accessible. For detailed information about Insights Hub API endpoints and data feed access, refer to the Insights Hub documentation or your Nexset configuration.

Credential Name & Description​

  1. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

    Resource descriptions are recommended but are not required. They should be used provide information about the resource purpose, data freshness, etc. that can help the owner and other users efficiently understand and utilize the resource.

No Authentication​

Insights Hub uses no authentication for API requests. The credential configuration includes a test URL that is used to validate the credential configuration.

  1. Enter the test URL in the Test URL for Authentication field. You can enter your Nexset's Data Feed API URL, or leave this as the default Nexla Echo URL (https://test-be.nexla.com/echo). The test URL is used to validate that the credential configuration is correct and that the endpoint is accessible.

    You can use the default Nexla Echo URL (https://test-be.nexla.com/echo) for testing, or you can enter your Nexset's Data Feed API URL if you have one available. The test URL should be accessible and return a valid response to confirm the credential configuration.

Save the Credential​

  1. Once all of the relevant steps in the above sections have been completed, click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay to save the configured credential.

  2. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation and can be selected for use with a new data source or destination.
