Use API Key in MxLoader
Open MxLoader and configure as follows:
- Service: REST
- Authentication: API
- User: leave blank
- Password: paste your API Key
Simplified approach
You can use MxLoader to generate a valid API key. Set the Authentication configuration parameter to ‘API’ and then you user credentials in the User and Password parameter.
By clicking on the Test Connection button, MxLoader will call the ‘api’ service to request a new API Key for the specified user.
If the authentication is successful, MxLoader will store the API Key in cell B8 (password parameter) and will use this security token to authenticate.
