Nozbe Personal API Authentication

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

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

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

Connect your Nozbe API token

Sign in to your Nozbe account and open the Nozbe app before starting this connection.

  1. Open API tokens

    In the Nozbe app, open the area where API tokens are managed so you can create a token for MindCloud.

    Settings → API tokens
  2. Create a token

    Create a new API token and give it a recognizable name for this MindCloud connection.

  3. Choose whether the token should be global

    Leave "Add it as global token" off if MindCloud only needs the current space. Turn it on only if the integration must access data from any space.

  4. Copy the token into MindCloud

    Copy the new token and paste it into the Nozbe connection form as the API key value.

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.
