RAYNET CRM API Authentication

How to authenticate RAYNET CRM API requests: one Bearer API key plus a connectionId. MindCloud stores your RAYNET CRM credentials — no auth headers to build.

Every RAYNET CRM API request through MindCloud needs two things: a MindCloud API Key and a connectionId for your RAYNET CRM 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 RAYNET CRM connection in Connections. RAYNET CRM uses a username and password. You enter them when you create the connection — MindCloud stores them securely so your requests never carry raw credentials.
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 RAYNET CRM account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the RAYNET CRM 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 Contacts with an RAYNET CRM connection looks like this:

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

Connect RAYNET CRM

You need a Raynet CRM administrator account and access to the tenant where API keys are enabled.

Open the Raynet CRM pricing or signup flow
Create the Raynet CRM account you want to connect, or sign in to an existing administrator account.
RAYNET CRM pricing / trial
Open the API key settings page
In Raynet CRM, go to the API key settings area. If API keys are unavailable, confirm the tenant is on the PROFESSIONAL plan or higher.
Settings → API keys
Create a new API key
Choose the integration user account, create the key, and copy it immediately because Raynet only shows it once.
Enter the Raynet login username
Use the administrator username or email that pairs with the generated API key in HTTP basic authentication.
Capture the Instance Name value
Take the tenant instance name from the Raynet workspace URL or tenant configuration. MindCloud sends this value in the X-Instance-Name header on every request.

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.
