Magaya - Gather API Credentials

To connect to the Magaya API, the Magaya user must gather the following API credentials:

• API Username — A user configured in Magaya specifically for providing API access. This must be different than the regular Magaya user account name. For instructions about how to create the API Username, see below.
• API Password — the API user account password. This must be different than the regular Magaya account password. For instructions about how to set the API Password, see below.
• Magaya URL — the Magaya URL, provided by a Magaya representative after you've created the API Username and API Password.
  • For Magaya Cloud, the URL will look similar to: https://12345.magayacloud.com/api, where 12345 is your System ID. (Note that the protocol is https.)
  • For Magaya On-Premises, the URL is a combination of your Network Interface and Port Number, as viewed in the "Connection" section of your Magaya Connection Suite. For example, if your Network Interface is at IP address 123.456.789.012 on port 1234, the URL would be http://123.456.789.012:1234 (note that the protocol in this case is http).
    
    
  • In either case, make sure to verify your Magaya URL with your Magaya representative before entering it into DropStream.
• Customer — the Magaya Customer for this integration.
