Get your API key and API base URL

This topic describes how to get the API Key and API base URL in order to use the Nintex Office 365 API.

You will need two pieces of information in order to use the API:

• API Key

  The API Key is a 32 digit number that you will send as a header in your request.

• API Base URL

  The API Base URL is for the API. This is different than your tenant URL and you can construct your API Base URL by using your tenant name in the domain and changing sharepoint.com to nintexo365.com, for example yourtenant.sharepoint.com to yourtenant.nintexo365.com.

Request the API Key

You can get the API Key by completing the Web form.

To request the API Key

1. You will need your Licensed Organization Name, the URL of your tenancy, and your tenant ID.

   You can find the tenant ID in the About Nintex window which can be accessed from the Workflow designer or Forms designer ribbon. Open the designer, and then click Help, and select About.

2. Open the Nintex Office 365 API Key Request form.
3. Type your Licensed Organization Name.
4. Type your Name.
5. Type your Email.
6. Type the SharePoint Online URL for your tenant e.g. www.yourtenant.sharepointonline.com.
7. Type your Tenant ID.
8. Select your Tenant Region.
