How do I access the Fivetran REST API?

Answerlink

Our REST API feature is available only for Standard Select, Standard, Enterprise, and Business Critical accounts. You can also try it out during your Trial period.

To learn how our API is structured, see our REST API documentation.

A user with Account Administrator permissions can access the REST API to programmatically manage users, groups, and connectors. You can create, edit, and delete connectors and users, as well as add and remove users from groups.

To access the REST API, do the following:

1. Log in to your Fivetran account.

2. Go to the Manage Account page.

   

3. Go to the Settings tab.

   

4. In the API Config section, click Show to access the API secret.

   

5. Make a note of the API key and API secret. You will need them to access your Fivetran account using our API.

6. For each request to the API, provide an Authorization HTTP header with the following value: Basic {api_key}:{api_secret}. The {api_key}:{api_secret} part must be Base64 encoded.
