Whop API Authentication

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

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

curl --request GET \
  --url "https://connect.mindcloud.co/v1/universal/whop/latest/actions/list-members" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $MINDCLOUD_API_KEY" \
  --get \
  --data-urlencode "connectionId=$CONNECTION_ID"

The Authorization: Bearer <your MindCloud API Key> header authenticates you to MindCloud; the connectionId tells MindCloud which Whop account to run the action against. Missing or invalid Authorization returns 401, and a missing or mismatched connectionId returns 400.

Prepare your Whop Company API key

You need access to the target Whop company and permission to create or view its Company API keys.

Open the target company in Whop
Sign in to Whop and open the company whose data you want MindCloud to access.
Create or copy a Company API key
Open the company API key area in Whop, create a Company API key if needed, and copy the key value.
Grant the permissions your actions need
Ensure the Company API key has the required permissions for the endpoints you want to use. For example, List Companies requires company:basic:read, List Memberships requires member read permissions, and List Payments requires payment read permissions.
Paste the key into MindCloud
In the Whop Company API Key connection in MindCloud, paste the Company API key into the API Key field and save the connection.
Select the Company API key connection as the Agent Connection
In the Whop app editor, open Agent Connection and choose the Company API key connection so action testing runs through the company-scoped credential.

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.
