gyfti API Authentication

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

Every gyfti API request through MindCloud needs two things: a MindCloud API Key and a connectionId for your gyfti 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 gyfti connection in Connections. gyfti uses an API key. You generate the key in your gyfti 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 gyfti account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the gyfti 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 Verify Credentials with an gyfti connection looks like this:

curl --request POST \
  --url "https://connect.mindcloud.co/v2/universal/apps/gyfti/actions/verify-credentials/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 gyfti account to run the action against. Missing or invalid Authorization returns 401, and a missing or mismatched connectionId returns 400.

Connect gyfti

You need a valid gyfti access token. gyfti documents generating one by calling the login endpoint with the account email and password.

Generate an access token
Follow gyfti's authentication documentation to call the login endpoint and get the response token for your account.
gyfti doc API → Authentification
Paste the token
Paste the returned token into the API Key field in the connection form.
Test the connection
Run the connection test. A valid token returns the logged-in user state from gyfti.

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.
