Overview

You must create API Suite accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your Pipelines. You can configure your API Suite accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or the  Manager.

Snap Account Compatibility

Snaps in the API Suite Snap Pack work with different accounts and protocols per the following table.

Configuring API Suite Accounts Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag an HTTP Client Snap to the Canvas and click the Snap to open its settings. Click the Account tab. You can now either use an existing account or create a new one.

Selecting an existing account

SnapLogic organizes and displays all accounts to which you have access, sorting them by account type and location. To select an existing account:

  1. In the Account tab, click the icon to view the accounts to which you have access, and select the account that you want to use.

  2. Click (blue star) icon.

Creating an account

  1. In the Account tab, click Add Account below the Account Reference field.

  2. Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the Account Type, and click Continue. The Add Account dialog window associated with the account type is displayed.

  3. Enter the required account details. For detailed guidance on how to provide the information required for each account type, see the following articles:
    AWS Signature V4 Account
    Basic Authentication Account
    Digest Authentication Account
    NTLM Account
    Secured Headers Account
    SSL Account
    OAuth2 Account

  4. Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.

  5. Click Apply to complete configuring the API Suite account.

Enter additional information on this account in the Notes field of the Info tab. This will help you–and other users–understand the purpose of the account, especially if there are multiple accounts of the same type.

Configuring API Suite Accounts Using SnapLogic Manager

You can use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.

Accounts in SnapLogic are associated with projects. You can use accounts created in other projects only if you have at least Read access to them.

  1. In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click (blue star) > Account API Suite > AWS Signature V4, followed by the appropriate account type. The Create Account dialog associated with the selected account type is displayed.

  2. Repeat the steps numbered 3 through 5 in the Creating an account section. 

Avoid updating account credentials while Pipelines using that account are executing. Doing so may lead to unexpected results, including your account getting locked.

November 2023

435patches24208

Fixed an issue with the HTTP Client Snap that caused incorrect parsing of the boundary parameter by some REST endpoints. If you need to specify a character set, enter it in the individual parts of the request, as the charset parameter has been removed from the multipart content-type.

433patches21307

Latest

Fixed an issue with the HTTP Client Snap that caused pagination to fail when the next Snap in the pipeline could modify the input document (for example, the Mapper Snap).

Behavior Change:
With the 433patches21307, pagination evaluation occurs before sending the output to the output view. Therefore, if snap.out.totalCount is part of the Has next or any other pagination properties, the Snap will not include the count in the output corresponding to the request that produced the output document.

  • Fixed an issue affecting the HTTP Client Snap, which caused it to hang for an extended period when the user-agent contained the term java.
