How to integrate Cynet account?

Overview​

To authenticate with Cynet and access their REST APIs, you will need the following information:

  • Cynet Console (Base) URL
  • Access Key and Secret Key (from API User in the Cynet portal)
  • Client ID / Site ID

Step 1: Login to Cynet Management Console​

  1. Sign in to your Cynet console at https://<your-instance>.cynet.com
  2. Ensure you have an account with Admin or Integration permissions that allow creating API users

Step 2: Create a Role for API Access​

  1. In the console, go to Settings → Users & Roles
  2. Select the Roles tab
  3. Click Add Role and give it a descriptive name (e.g., integration-api-role)
  4. Under permissions, enable API – full access (or restrict to only what is required)
  5. Save the role

Step 3: Create an API User​

  1. In Settings → Users & Roles, go to the API Users tab
  2. Click New API User
  3. Enter the following details:
    • Display Name: A descriptive identifier (e.g., "unizo-integration")
    • Role: Assign the role created in Step 2
  4. Click Add

After creating, Cynet will display the Access Key and Secret Key.

Important:

  • The Secret Key is displayed only once
  • Copy and store both keys securely (in a vault or secrets manager)
  • If lost, you must regenerate a new key pair

Step 4: Collect Required Values​

You now have all the credentials needed for integration:

  1. Base URL: Your Cynet console URL (e.g., https://<your-instance>.cynet.com)
  2. Access Key: From Step 3
  3. Secret Key: From Step 3
  4. Client/Site ID: Available from your Cynet console dashboard
