You can generate an API key to integrate Mintsoft with external systems. By default, API keys expire after 24 hours, but administrators can set them to never expire. You'll need your Mintsoft password to generate the key.
Set your Mintsoft password
Before generating an API key, you need to set your Mintsoft password. This may be different from your Access Evo password.
Click Settings, then click Change Password.
Enter the password you wish to use.
This password will be used to generate the API key.
Generate an API key
Warning: Your API key will expire after 24 hours unless you follow the steps in the Set a static API key section.
Click the following link: /api/Auth.
Enter the request in the following format -
{
"Username": "Mintsoft username",
"Password": "login password"
}Click Try it out!
The response will contain the API key.
Your API key will have a 24-hour expiry on it.
Set a static API key
Important: Only 3PL administrators or database administrators can complete these steps.
To extend the 24-hour expiry and set a static API key, follow these steps:
Click Settings, then click either Warehouse User Accounts or Client User Accounts.
Search for the user that needs a static API key.
Click Actions, then click Set API Key to Never Expire.
Show the API Key column
If you cannot see the API Key column on the account page, follow these steps:
Click the Column Visibility dropdown, located in the middle of the page.
Select the API Key option.
Click Apply.
The API Key column will now be visible.
Note: Warehouse and Admin users are unable to view the API key of 3PL Client users. Client users must provide their API key to Warehouse users by following the steps in the Generate an API key section.
