Authentication
Before you begin, make sure you have the following information:
Connection Name: Choose a meaningful name for your connection. This name helps you identify the connection within your application or integration settings.
Authentication Type: The authentication method for this connector is defined in the connection setup. Select the connector in the Connections area to see the fields it requires.
Obtaining Your API Key
Log in to your Freedcamp account.
Click your avatar in the top-right corner and select My Account.
Click Integrations, then open the API tab.
Choose Unsecured or Secured for the key type. Secured also issues an API secret and requires you to re-enter your password to reveal it.
Generate the API key.
Copy the API key (and API secret, if you generated a Secured key) and store them securely for authentication purposes.
