Insighto.ai API Authentication

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

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

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

Get an Insighto.ai API key

You need access to an Insighto.ai workspace and its dashboard settings.

Sign in to Insighto.ai
Open the Insighto.ai dashboard login page and sign in to the workspace you want to connect.
Insighto.ai Dashboard → Login
Open API Keys in Settings
Go to the dashboard settings area and open the API Keys page, which is the provider surface used to generate keys for the public API.
Insighto.ai Dashboard → Settings → API Keys
Create or reveal an API key
Create a new API key if you do not already have one available, then copy the key value shown by Insighto.ai.
Paste the key into MindCloud
Paste the copied key into the MindCloud connection. MindCloud will send it as the shared api_key query parameter for Insighto.ai API requests.

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.
