Xsolla
Xsolla is a game commerce company that provides tools and services for video game developers and publishers, including a store, in-game purchases, and payment processing. The Xsolla connector lets Nexla read catalog data such as games, virtual items, virtual currencies, and bundles from your project, and write new or updated catalog records back to Xsolla through the Store API.
Power end-to-end data operations for your Xsolla API with Nexla. Our bi-directional Xsolla connector is purpose-built for Xsolla, making it simple to ingest data, sync it across systems, and deliver it anywhere — all with no coding required. Nexla turns API-sourced data into ready-to-use, reusable data products and makes it easy to send data to Xsolla or any other destination. With comprehensive monitoring, lineage tracking, and access controls, Nexla keeps your Xsolla workflows fast, secure, and fully governed.

Prerequisites
Before creating an Xsolla credential, you need an Xsolla Publisher Account with a configured project, your project's numeric Project ID, and an API Key. Xsolla authenticates Store API requests with the API key sent in the Authorization header as a bearer token.
To obtain your Xsolla credentials, follow these steps:
-
Sign in to your Xsolla Publisher Account.
-
Select the project you want to connect, or create a new project if you do not have one yet.
-
Locate your Project ID — the numeric identifier of the project shown in the Publisher Account. This value identifies which project the Store API requests apply to.
-
Open the API keys section under Project settings (or Company settings for a company-wide key) and create a new API key.
-
Copy the API key immediately after it is generated. Xsolla displays the key only once at creation time, so you must store it securely on your side.
Keep the API key confidential — it grants access to your Publisher Account and projects, and should be stored only on a trusted server, never in client applications. For more details, see the Xsolla Catalog API authentication documentation.
Authenticate
Credentials required
| Field | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| API Key | Yes | Yes | API key. |
| Project ID | Yes | No | Xsolla project ID (numeric identifier of your project in the Publisher Account). |
Create a credential in Nexla
-
After selecting the data source/destination type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.
-
Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.
-
Enter your Xsolla API key in the API Key field. This value is sent in the
Authorizationheader as a bearer token and must be kept confidential. -
Enter your numeric Project ID in the Project ID field. This identifies which Xsolla project the Store API requests apply to.
-
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.
If your API key is compromised, revoke it in your Xsolla Publisher Account and generate a new one. The API key grants access to your Publisher Account and projects and should be treated as sensitive information.
For detailed information about Xsolla authentication and available endpoints, see the Xsolla Catalog API documentation.
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 Xsolla connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect to Xsolla, and click Next; or, create a new Xsolla 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 Xsolla 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.
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
Xsolla data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Xsolla Store 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 Xsolla 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 Xsolla destination, and select the Send to Destination option from the menu. Select the Xsolla connector from the list of available destination connectors, then select the credential that will be used to connect to Xsolla, and click Next; or, create a new Xsolla 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 Xsolla 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.
Manual configuration
Xsolla destinations can also be manually configured to send data to any valid Xsolla Store API endpoint. 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, data format, endpoint URL, request headers, attribute exclusions, record batching, and response webhooks.
Save & activate
Once all endpoint settings have been configured, click the Done button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the destination. To send the data to the configured Xsolla endpoint, open the destination resource menu, and select Activate.
The Nexset data will not be sent to the Xsolla endpoint until the destination is activated. Destinations can be activated immediately or at a later time, providing full control over data movement.
