Timetonic API Authentication

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

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

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

Connect TimeTonic

You need a TimeTonic account with API access and membership in the workspace or book you want this integration to reach.

Open your TimeTonic profile settings
Sign in to TimeTonic, open your user profile, then go to the settings screen where API keys are managed.
User profile → Account > Settings
Generate and copy your Sesskey
Use the Generate button for the API (Sesskey) option and copy the key right away for your connection.
Copy your TimeTonic user ID into both ID fields
From Account Information, copy the TimeTonic user ID and use that same value for both OAuth User ID and User ID unless your TimeTonic setup explicitly uses different values.
Confirm workspace access
Make sure this same account is a member of the target workspace or book before you test the connection.

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.
