Configuring credentials

1 minute read

API Builder credentials are defined in the configuration under the authorization key. Credentials are uniquely identified by its credential name, and its type. The credential name is how the credential will be referenced from the flows that use the credential. Each type of credential also requires additional type-specific configuration information. API Builder supports three credential types, API Key, HTTP Basic, and OAuth 2.0 with the respective types apiKey, basic, and oauth2.

// default.js

authorization: {
    credentials: {
        "<credential name>": {
            type: "<type>",
            ...
        }
    }
}
