Create a new API source by providing the Open API specification and authentication details. An API source represents a configured connection to an external API.

Limited Availability: ^ This feature is currently available only in select workspaces and might be subject to change before general availability.

When you add an API source, you provide the API specification and configure how to authenticate with the API. You can supply the Open API specification as a URL or upload a file.

  1. Navigate to the API Call section in your pipeline or workflow.
  2. Click Add API Source.
  3. Choose how to provide the Open API specification:
    1. To use a URL: Select Open API Spec URL and enter the URL to the Open API specification.
    2. To upload a file: Select Upload and drag and drop a file or click to browse and select the Open API specification file.
  4. Enter the Base URL for the API. This is the root URL where all API endpoints are located.
  5. Enter an API Source Name. Use a descriptive name that identifies this API source.
  6. Select the Authentication Type from the dropdown. The available options are:
    1. apiKey: Add the API secret.
    2. Bearer token: Add the bearer token.
  7. Click Test authentication using API endpoint to verify that your credentials are correct.
    Note: The system will attempt to connect to the API using the provided credentials. A success message indicates that authentication is working correctly.
  8. Click Save to create the API source.
The API source is now created and available for use. You can now add endpoints to this API source and use them in your pipelines. After creating an API source, proceed to add an API endpoint to define the specific operations you want to use.
