Overview
The operations DataBlend can perform on the BlackLine system are determined by what API scopes have been configured for the BlackLine account.
DataBlend currently supports the following scopes:
-
ReportAPI
-
DataIngestionAPI
Each configured scope will have its own client id and client secret. Therefore, a DataBlend credential is required for each scope in use. If you will have both a BlackLine Report collector (ReportAPI) and a Blackline target (DataIngestionAPI), you will need to configure two DataBlend credentials.
Please work with BlackLine support to configure API access to your BlackLine account.

An API key should be generated for the BlackLine user account that DataBlend will use to contact BlackLine.
The API key will be displayed ONLY when it is generated and cannot be retrieved after that time.
