Prerequisites

Before creating a VWO credential, you need a VWO account with API access and an API token. VWO authenticates every API request with a token sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. API token access is available on VWO's Enterprise plan.

To obtain your VWO API token, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your VWO account at app.vwo.com using your account credentials.

  2. Open the developer tokens page at app.vwo.com/#/developers/tokens.

  3. Generate a new API token, selecting the permission level (read or read/write) appropriate for how you intend to use the connector in Nexla.

  4. Copy the generated token and store it securely. The token is not time-bound and remains valid until it is revoked.

The token authenticates your requests and grants access to VWO resources based on the permission level you selected. The Base URL for the VWO API is used to construct request endpoints. If your token is compromised, revoke it from the developer tokens page and generate a new one. For detailed information about VWO API authentication and available endpoints, see the VWO Developer Documentation.

Authenticate

Credentials required

Authenticate using VWO API key passed as Bearer token in Authorization header.

FieldRequiredSecretDescription
API KeyYesYesVWO account API key for authentication.
Base URLYesNoThe base URL for the VWO API.

Create a credential in Nexla

  1. After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

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

  3. Enter your VWO API token in the API Key field. This token is sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header for all API requests and must be kept confidential.

  4. Enter the Base URL for the VWO API. This is used to construct the endpoint URLs for your requests.

    If your API token is compromised, revoke it from the VWO developer tokens page and generate a new one. The token grants access to your VWO account data based on its assigned permission level and should be treated as sensitive information.

    For detailed information about VWO API authentication, permissions, and available endpoints, see the VWO Developer Documentation.

  5. 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 VWO connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to VWO, and click Next; or, create a new VWO credential for use in this flow.

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 displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.

Manual configuration

VWO data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid VWO API endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom request parameters. 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.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new VWO data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.

Use as a destination

Click the + icon on the Nexset that will be sent to the VWO destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the VWO connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to VWO, and click Next; or, create a new VWO credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure destinations to send data to common VWO endpoints. Select the endpoint to which data will be sent from the Endpoint pulldown menu. Then, click on the template in the list below to expand it, and follow the instructions to configure additional endpoint settings.

[Rest API] Create Feature Flag

This endpoint template creates a new feature flag in VWO Feature Experimentation using records from a Nexset. Use this template when you need to automatically create feature flags based on data from your Nexla flows.

  • Each record from your Nexset is sent as a separate API request to create a new feature flag. The request body should contain the feature flag data in the format required by the VWO API.

For detailed information about feature flag creation, request body formats, and available properties, see the VWO Developer Documentation.

[Rest API] Update Feature Flag

This endpoint template updates an existing feature flag configuration in VWO using records from a Nexset. Use this template when you need to automatically update feature flags based on data from your Nexla flows.
