Walla Form API Authentication

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

Every Walla Form API request through MindCloud needs two things: a MindCloud API Key and a connectionId for your Walla Form 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 Walla Form connection in Connections. Walla Form 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 Walla Form account that should run the action. MindCloud stores and refreshes the Walla Form 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 Workspaces with an Walla Form connection looks like this:

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

Connect Walla Basic Auth

You need a Walla team with API access enabled. Walla requires both a client ID and an API key.

Open your Walla team settings
In Walla, open the team settings page and switch to the API tab.
Walla Docs → Manage Team and Workspace
Copy the Client ID and API key
Walla's API docs require HTTP Basic auth with `{clientId}:{apiKey}`. Use the Walla Client ID as the username and the Walla API key as the password in this MindCloud connection.
Save the connection
Enter the Client ID into the username field and the API key into the password field, then save 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.
