Overview

You can create OpenAPI accounts to connect to data sources that you want to use in your Pipelines. 

Snap-Account Compatibility

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

Configuring OpenAPI Accounts

You can configure your OpenAPI accounts in SnapLogic using either the Designer or Manager.

Using SnapLogic Designer

Drag an OpenAPI 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. Click the  icon to view the accounts to which you have access and select the account that you want to use. 
   
   
2. Click .
   

Creating an account

1. Click Add Account in the Account Reference dialog.
   
   
2. Select the Location in which you want to create the account, select the account type, and click Continue. The Add Account dialog associated with the account type appears.

   Info
   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.

   
   

4. Click Validate to verify the account, if the account type supports validation.
   
   
5. Click Apply to complete configuring the OpenAPI account.

Using SnapLogic Manager

Use Manager to create accounts without associating them immediately with Pipelines.

1. In the left pane, browse to the project in which you want to create the account and click Create > Account > OpenAPI, followed by the appropriate account type.
