CompanyHub API Authentication

How to authenticate CompanyHub API requests: one Bearer API key plus a connectionId. MindCloud stores your API key securely — set it once, never resend it.

Every CompanyHub API request through MindCloud needs two things: a MindCloud API Key and a connectionId for your CompanyHub account. This page covers both, plus exactly how to send them, so you do not need to visit any other page to get authenticated.

Steps to authenticate

Create a MindCloud account at app.mindcloud.co if you do not already have one.
Generate a MindCloud API Key in API Keys. This is the Bearer token you send on every request. Keep it on your server.
Create a CompanyHub connection in Connections. CompanyHub uses an API key. You generate the key in your CompanyHub account, then paste it in when you create the connection — MindCloud stores it securely and never returns it in a response.
Copy the connection’s connectionId — you will send it on every request alongside your MindCloud API Key.

How requests are authenticated

Authentication has two layers. Your MindCloud API Key authenticates the request to MindCloud, sent as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. The connectionId selects the connected CompanyHub account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the CompanyHub credentials behind that connection, so you never send provider tokens with your requests.

Pass connectionId in the query string for GET and DELETE actions, and in the JSON body for POST, PUT, and PATCH actions.

For example, calling Get Current User with an CompanyHub connection looks like this:

curl --request POST \
  --url "https://connect.mindcloud.co/v2/universal/apps/companyHub/actions/get-current-user/run" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $MINDCLOUD_API_KEY" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
  "connectionId": "$CONNECTION_ID",
  "arguments": {}
}'

The Authorization: Bearer <your MindCloud API Key> header authenticates you to MindCloud; the connectionId tells MindCloud which CompanyHub account to run the action against. Missing or invalid Authorization returns 401, and a missing or mismatched connectionId returns 400.

Connect CompanyHub

You need a CompanyHub account with access to API keys and the tables you want to use.

Copy your CompanyHub API key
In CompanyHub, open Settings > Integrations and copy one of your API keys. Paste that value into the MindCloud API Key field.
Settings → Integrations
Enter your CompanyHub subdomain
Enter the CompanyHub subdomain used in API requests, without spaces. For example, if your auth header starts with mindcloud, enter mindcloud in the MindCloud Subdomain field.
Confirm the table names you want to use
In CompanyHub, open Settings > Customize Tables and note the exact API table names for the records you want MindCloud to manage. Use table names, not display labels, when running actions.
Settings → Customize Tables
Save and test the connection
Back in MindCloud, save the connection and run the connection test action. The test should return your current CompanyHub user details when the API key and subdomain are valid.

Keep your key safe

Keep your MindCloud API Key on your server; do not ship it in browser code, mobile apps, public repositories, or logs. Anyone with the key can call the Universal API as your MindCloud account, across every connection you have created.
