Prerequisites​

Before creating a Rocket Fuel credential, you need to obtain your Username (or API Key) and Password from your Rocket Fuel account. Rocket Fuel uses Token Authentication, which requires authenticating with your username and password to obtain an access token that is then used for all API requests.

To obtain your Rocket Fuel API credentials, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your Rocket Fuel account using your administrator credentials.

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

  3. Look for the API or API Keys section in your account settings, or navigate to Settings > API or Developers > API Keys.

  4. If you don't have API credentials yet, look for the option to generate or view your Username (or API Key) and Password.

  5. Click Generate API Key or Create API Key to create new API credentials.

  6. Configure your API credential settings:

    • Enter a name for the credentials (e.g., "Nexla Integration")
    • Review and select the permissions or scopes for the credentials (if applicable)

  7. Click Generate or Create to create the API credentials.

  8. Your Username (or API Key) will be displayed immediately after creation. Copy the Username.

  9. Your Password will be displayed immediately after creation. Copy the Password immediately, as it may not be accessible again after you navigate away from the page.

  10. Store both 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 used to authenticate with the Rocket Fuel API authentication endpoint (/api/auth/signin) to obtain an access token. The access token is then sent in the Authorization header with the Bearer prefix for all subsequent API requests to the Rocket Fuel API. The access token is automatically obtained and refreshed by Nexla as needed. If your credentials are compromised, you should immediately revoke them in your Rocket Fuel account settings and generate new ones. For detailed information about Rocket Fuel authentication, API access, and available endpoints, refer to the Rocket Fuel API documentation.

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

Rocket Fuel uses Token Authentication for all API requests. Your Username (or API Key) and Password are used to authenticate with the Rocket Fuel API authentication endpoint to obtain an access token, which is then used for all subsequent API requests.

  1. Enter your Rocket Fuel Username (or API Key) in the Username Or API Key field. This is the Username or API Key you obtained from your Rocket Fuel account settings (API or API Keys section). The Username is used along with the Password to authenticate with the Rocket Fuel API authentication endpoint and obtain an access token.

  2. Enter your Rocket Fuel Password in the Password field. This is the Password you obtained from your Rocket Fuel account settings. The Password is used along with the Username to authenticate with the Rocket Fuel API authentication endpoint and obtain an access token. The Password is sensitive information and must be kept confidential.

    Your Rocket Fuel API credentials can be found in your Rocket Fuel account settings under the API or API Keys section. The Username (or API Key) and Password are used to authenticate with the Rocket Fuel API authentication endpoint (/api/auth/signin) to obtain an access token. The access token is then automatically sent in the Authorization: Bearer {token} header for all subsequent API requests to the Rocket Fuel API.

    The access token is automatically obtained and refreshed by Nexla as needed. If your credentials are compromised, you should immediately revoke them in your Rocket Fuel account settings and generate new ones. The Username and Password provide access to your Rocket Fuel account data and should be treated as sensitive information. Keep your credentials secure and do not share them publicly.

    For detailed information about Rocket Fuel authentication, API access, and available endpoints, see the Rocket Fuel API documentation.

  3. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source/destination creation.

Use as a data source​

To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the Rocket Fuel connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to your Rocket Fuel account, and click Next; or, create a new Rocket Fuel credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates​

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common Rocket Fuel endpoints. Select the endpoint from which this source will fetch data from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Available endpoint templates are listed in the expandable boxes below.

Bank Listing

This endpoint template retrieves a list of banks from your Rocket Fuel account. Use this template when you need to retrieve information about available banks, including bank IDs, names, and other bank metadata.

  • This endpoint automatically retrieves all banks from your Rocket Fuel account. No additional configuration is required beyond selecting this endpoint template.

This endpoint returns a list of banks from your Rocket Fuel account, including bank IDs, names, and other bank metadata. Use this endpoint to discover which banks are available in your Rocket Fuel account.

For detailed information about bank listings, API response structures, and available bank data, see the Rocket Fuel API documentation.

Cryptocurrencies listing

This endpoint template retrieves a list of cryptocurrencies from your Rocket Fuel account. Use this template when you need to retrieve information about available cryptocurrencies, including currency codes, names, and other cryptocurrency metadata.

  • This endpoint automatically retrieves all cryptocurrencies from your Rocket Fuel account. The endpoint uses USD as the default currency for pricing information.

This endpoint returns a list of cryptocurrencies from your Rocket Fuel account, including currency codes, names, and other cryptocurrency metadata. Use this endpoint to discover which cryptocurrencies are available in your Rocket Fuel account.

For detailed information about cryptocurrency listings, API response structures, and available cryptocurrency data, see the Rocket Fuel API documentation.

Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu to retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched. Sample data will be fetched and displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.

Manual configuration​

Rocket Fuel data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Rocket Fuel API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates or apply further customizations. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.

Rocket Fuel API typically uses the GET method (e.g., https://app.rocketfuelblockchain.com/api/banks/my, https://app.rocketfuelblockchain.com/api/currencies). For the Response Data Path, use $.result.banks[*] to extract all banks from the result, $.result[*] to extract all items from the result array, or $ to extract the entire response for single-record endpoints, depending on your endpoint.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Next button to proceed with the rest of the data flow configuration, or click Save to save the data source configuration for later use. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.
