Sage 200 Authenticate an Element | Cloud Elements Help Center

You can authenticate with Sage to create your own instance of the Sage 200 element through the UI or through APIs. Once authenticated, you can use the element instance to access the different functionality offered by the Sage 200 platform.

Authenticate Through the UI

Use the UI to authenticate with Sage 200 and create an element instance. Because you authenticate with Sage 200 via OAuth 2.0, all you need to do is add a name for the instance and provide the account information you identified during API Provider Setup. After you create the instance, you'll log in to Sage 200 to authorize Cloud Elements to access your account. For more information about authenticating an element instance, see Authenticate an Element Instance (UI).

After successfully authenticating, we give you several options for next steps. Make requests using the API docs associated with the instance, map the instance to a virtual data resource, or use it in a formula template.

Authenticate Through API

Use the /instances endpoint to authenticate with Sage 200 and create an element instance. If you are configuring events, see the Events section.

Note: The endpoint returns an element token upon successful completion. Retain the token for all subsequent requests involving this element instance.

To create an element instance:

Construct a JSON body as shown below (see Parameters):

{
  "configuration": {
    "oauth.api.secret": "<API_SECRET>",
    "oauth.api.key": "<API_KEY>",
    "subscription.key": "<SUBSCRIPTION_KEY>",
    "signing.key": "<SIGNING.KEY>",
    "company.name": "Cloud-Elements Demodata"
  },
  "name": "Sage 200 Working Instance Payload",
  "providerData": {
    "code": "<INSERT_CODE>",
    "secret": "<INSERT_SECRET>"
  },
  "element": {
    "key": "sage200"
  }
}

Call the following, including the JSON body you constructed in the previous step:
```
POST /instances
```
Note: Make sure that you include the User and Organization keys in the header. For more information, see Authorization Headers, Organization Secret, and User Secret.
Locate the token and id in the response and save them for all future requests using the element instance.

Example cURL

curl -X POST  https://api.cloud-elements.com/elements/api-v2/instances \
 -H 'Authorization: User <INSERT>, Organization <INSERT>'  \
 -H 'Content-Type: application/json'  \
 --data '{ \
  "name": "My Instance", \
  "providerData": { \
    "code": "" \
  }, \
  "configuration": { \
    "oauth.api.secret": "<INSERT>", \
    "oauth.api.key": "<INSERT>", \
    "subscription.key": "<INSERT>", \
    "signing.key": "<INSERT>", \
    "company.name": "<INSERT>" \
  } \
}'
