Rocket Fuel

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.

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.

Token Authentication​

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.

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.
