Uploadcare

The Uploadcare modules allow you to watch and upload files in your Uploadcare account.

Getting Started with Uploadcare

Prerequisites

An Uploadcare account

In order to use Uploadcare with Boost.space Integrator, it is necessary to have an Uploadcare account. If you do not have one, you can create an Uploadcare account at uploadcare.com/accounts/signup/?.

The module dialog fields that are displayed in bold (in the Boost.space Integrator scenario, not in this documentation article) are mandatory!

Connecting Uploadcare to Boost.space Integrator

To connect your Uploadcare account to Boost.space Integrator you need to obtain the API Key from your Uploadcare account and insert it in the Create a connection dialog in the Boost.space Integrator module.

Log in to your Uploadcare account.
From the Dashboard, click any Project > API Keys > Add Secret Key.

Each project will have a different Public Key and the Secret Key. Click the project with which you want to establish the connection.

Copy the Public Access Key and Secret Key to a safe place.

Go to Boost.space Integrator and open the Uploadcare module’s Create a connection dialog.

In the Connection name field, enter a name for the connection.

In the Public Key and Secret Key fields, enter the keys copied in step 3, and click Continue.

The connection has been established.
