Supabugs API Authentication

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

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

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

Create a Supabugs API token

You need access to a Supabugs project where you can create or view API tokens.

  1. Sign in to Supabugs

    Open the Supabugs dashboard and sign in with your account.

    Sign in
  2. Open your project's API Tokens page

    In the Supabugs dashboard, open the project you want MindCloud to use, then open the API Tokens page for that project.

  3. Create or copy an API token

    Create a token with the project access you want MindCloud to use, or copy an existing token that already has the right access.

  4. Paste the token into MindCloud

    Use the copied API token as the Supabugs connection value in MindCloud.

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.
