Authentication

The Vista Gateway Client uses API keys for authentication. Each API key is scoped to a specific customer and data provider.

Responsibilities

• The data provider is responsible for ensuring that the correct API key is used when sending data.
• The API key communicates:
  • Who is sending the data (the data provider)
  • Who the data is for (the customer)
• If you are sending data on your own behalf, the API key will represent you as both the data provider and the customer.

Note: API keys are unique to each customer–provider relationship and must not be shared across customers. One API key per customer per data provider is required.

Obtaining an API Key

To request an API key, contact your DNV representative. Please specify the service(s) you intend to use to ensure the appropriate key is issued.

Note: API keys will be self-serviceable in the future. For now, please contact your DNV representative to obtain an API key.
