Introduction

To successfully establish a connection and send requests to the Alteryx API, the Alteryx Scope activity must complete authentication to a Custom App using the supported authentication.

To give the *Alteryx Scope activity the ability to authenticate and to enable the other activities to successfully send requests to the Alteryx API, you must complete the following steps:

1. Go to the Keys tab on your profile settings in Alteryx
2. Obtain the Private Studio API (Key*) and (Secret)
3. You may also need to obtain the API location if it is different from the default location of http://localhost/cloud/api/v1

You're done!

Now that you have completed the setup, you can start adding the Alteryx activities to your project.

For a hands-on learning experience and to quickly start using the activities, see the Quickstart guide. This guide provides step-by-step instructions to help you create a working sample of the different activities so that you can verify the connection to your Box application and get familiar with the input/output properties.
