WaiverForever API Authentication

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

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

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

Get your WaiverForever API key

Sign in to your WaiverForever account before setting up this connection.

  1. Open the Integrations area in WaiverForever

    In your WaiverForever account, go to Account Settings and open the Integrations tab.

  2. Generate a new application key

    Create a new Application Key in the Integrations area if you do not already have one available for MindCloud.

  3. Copy the API key into MindCloud

    Paste that application key into the MindCloud connection as the API Key value.

  4. Save the connection and test it

    Save the connection in MindCloud and run a connection test once the app scaffold is ready.

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.
