To obtain the ClientID, Client Secret, Scopes and Environment, submit a formal request to Blackline’s Technical Support Team. This request must be submitted by the Blackline Admin’s Account that will be tied to this integration (later steps involve using this Admin Account to generate API Key). Navigate to the following path to submit such a request:
Blackline Home Admin >> Community (Leftside Panel) >>> My Cases >> Log A Case
In the Case Description, summarize the following:
Hello Blackline Tech Team,
I am in the process of setting up an API Integration with our 3rd party vendor Zilla Security. As part of this integration, I will need the following OAuth Credentials from you:
ClientID
ClientSecret
Scopes
Environment Name
This integration will require the following scopes:
GET /v1/users
GET /v1/users/{id}/entities
GET /v1/users/{id}/roles-products
GET /v1/users/{id}/teams
Thanks,
The Blackline Technical Team should deliver these listed items via their API Connector Installation Form.
The final 2 requirements needed as part of this integration are username + password. These can be retrieved by simply bringing up the User record for the Blackline Admin, where we find their username and also have the ability to Generate API Key.
GET /v1/users
GET /v1/users/{id}/entities
GET /v1/users/{id}/roles-product
GET /v1/users/{id}/teams
Click
Next
, the sync will begin.
