Prerequisites​

Before creating a project44 credential, you need to obtain your project44 username and password, and identify your API environment URL from your project44 account. project44 uses Basic Authentication for all API requests, with the username and password sent in the Authorization header.

To obtain your project44 API credentials, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your project44 account using your administrator credentials.

  2. Navigate to your project44 account settings or API management section in the project44 interface.

  3. Look for the API or API Credentials section in your account settings.

  4. Your project44 username is typically your project44 account username or the username assigned to your project44 API account.

  5. Your project44 password is the password associated with your project44 API account. This password is used for Basic Authentication.

  6. Identify your project44 API environment URL:

    • Production API Server: https://cloud.p-44.com (for production environments)
    • Test API Server: https://test.p-44.com (for testing environments)

  7. Store all credentials securely, as you will need them to configure your Nexla credential. The username and password are sensitive information and should be kept confidential.

The username and password are sent in the Authorization header using Basic Authentication (Base64-encoded) for all API requests to the project44 API. The API environment URL determines which project44 API server (production or test) your API requests will be sent to. If your credentials are compromised, you should immediately change your password in your project44 account settings. For detailed information about project44 authentication, API access, and available endpoints, refer to the project44 Developer documentation.

Create a project44 Credential​

  • To create a new project44 credential, after selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

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.

Basic Authentication​

project44 uses Basic Authentication for all API requests. The username and password are sent in the Authorization header using Base64 encoding to authenticate API requests to the project44 API.

  1. Enter your project44 username in the Username field. This is the username associated with your project44 API account. The username is used for Basic Authentication.

  2. Enter your project44 password in the Password field. This is the password associated with your project44 API account. The password is sent in the Authorization header using Base64 encoding for all API requests to the project44 API. The password is sensitive information and must be kept confidential.

  3. Select your project44 API environment from the API Environment / URL pulldown menu. Select Production API Server (https://cloud.p-44.com) for production environments, or Test API Server (https://test.p-44.com) for testing environments. The API environment determines which project44 API server your API requests will be sent to.

    Your project44 API credentials can be found in your project44 account settings under the API or API Credentials section. The username and password are sent in the Authorization header using Basic Authentication (Base64-encoded) for all API requests to the project44 API. The API environment should match your project44 environment (production or test).

    If your credentials are compromised, you should immediately change your password in your project44 account settings. The username and password provide access to your project44 account data and should be treated as sensitive information. Keep your credentials secure and do not share them publicly.

    For detailed information about project44 authentication, API access, and available endpoints, see the project44 Developer documentation.

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.
