InvoiceBerry API Authentication

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

Every InvoiceBerry API request through MindCloud needs two things: a MindCloud API Key and a connectionId for your InvoiceBerry 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

  1. Create a MindCloud account at app.mindcloud.co if you do not already have one.
  2. Generate a MindCloud API Key in API Keys. This is the Bearer token you send on every request. Keep it on your server.
  3. Create a InvoiceBerry connection in Connections. InvoiceBerry uses an API key. You generate the key in your InvoiceBerry account, then paste it in when you create the connection — MindCloud stores it securely and never returns it in a response.
  4. 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 InvoiceBerry account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the InvoiceBerry 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 Currencies with an InvoiceBerry connection looks like this:

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

Connect your InvoiceBerry account

You need an InvoiceBerry account with access to the API Preferences section.

  1. Open InvoiceBerry API Preferences

    Sign in to InvoiceBerry and open the API Preferences section in your account settings. Copy both the API Key and API Password shown there.

  2. Paste the API credentials into MindCloud

    Enter the API Key into the API Key field and the API Password into the API Password field when you create the connection.

  3. Save and test the connection

    Save the connection so MindCloud can use your InvoiceBerry credentials for 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.
