API Key

The API Key is an authentication feature that verifies the identity of users making requests to SAP data via Link. The application authorizes all incoming requests that have a corresponding X-API-KEY header value to the ApiKey configuration.

Settings

The API Key is configured for Proxies or API Proxies in SAP BTP Cloud Foundry. This is done by setting a User-Provided Variable as shown below. After configuring the User-Provided Variable, the application will need to be restarted.

Example

Below is an example of how the X-API-KEY header is configured in Insomnia:

Configuration Example

Proxies__0__ApiKey: [some value]
