Orimon API Authentication

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

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

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

Connect your Orimon account

You need access to your Orimon dashboard and at least one chatbot already created.

Open your Orimon profile
Sign in to your Orimon dashboard, click the profile image in the bottom-left corner, then open Profile.
Generate your Developer API key
In the Developer API key section, click Generate Your Secret Key, then reveal and copy the key.
Find your chatbot tenantId
Open the bot configuration page for the chatbot you want to use. In the browser address bar, copy the value that appears after tenant/ through the end of the tenant identifier.

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.
