Arrow Connector
The Arrow Connector is designed to retrieve usage data directly from Arrow by processing both the consumption source and the ERP-file source. This information is retrieved based on the customers and their licenses.
The Arrow Connector does not incorporate product and pricing maintenance in the connector itself. Maintenance is managed by our CloudBilling consultants with existing API automations.
To get started with the Arrow connector, a request can be sent through our customer portal or an email. Below are the instructions to retrieve your API token and share it in a safe manner with us.
Getting an Arrow API Credential
- Log in to the ArrowSphere Cloud Partner Portal.
- In the top menu, go to API > API Keys.
- Click on the Generate a new key button, click on Next after reading the introduction.
- Give your Key a descriptive name (e.g. CloudBilling) and click Next again.
- The next field will show a Shared secret. Click the shuffle button to generate a random value.
- Copy the value in the Shared secret field before clicking on Next.
- Click Next, then Submit and save the Shared Secret and API Key in a secure location.
- Share the credentials securely with CloudBilling.
Once you have your API Key and Secret, it is crucial to share this information securely. We can provide you with a link to a shared folder or a secure request link from our Document Management System to send us your API credentials.
How to Share Your API Key Securely with CloudBilling
It is crucial to share the API key securely. To ensure this:
- Our CloudBilling consultants will provide you with a secure share link to our Document Management System (DMS).
- Use this link to upload your API key credential safely.
- Avoid sharing the API key over insecure channels (email, chat, etc.).
