About Fivetran

Iru reads connector definitions, destination settings, team membership, and audit logs via the Fivetran REST API. HTTP Basic authentication uses the API key as username and the API secret as password.

​
How It Works

Fivetran’s REST API uses HTTP Basic: the API key is the username, the API secret is the password, and the pair is sent as Authorization: Basic base64(key:secret) on each request. Keys are created in the Fivetran account and inherit that account’s readable resources.

​
Prerequisites

  • Account Administrator or Owner (or equivalent) to generate API credentials.

​
Connect Fivetran to Iru

Complete this tab before you connect the source in Compliance.
1

Sign in to Fivetran

Open the Fivetran dashboard and sign in with an Account Administrator or Owner (or equivalent) who can view API credentials.
2

Open account API settings

Open your avatar or account menu, then choose API Key, Account settings, or API Config (exact labels depend on Fivetran UI; you are looking for the REST API key and secret pair).
3

Locate or generate credentials

If a key already exists and your policy allows reuse, open View or Show for that key. Otherwise start Generate / Create to mint a new key and secret pair.
4

Copy the API key

Copy the API key string to your vault first. Some screens hide the key after you navigate away.
5

Copy the API secret

Copy the API secret when Fivetran displays it. The secret is shown only once; if you regenerate it, update Iru immediately or the connection will fail.
Continue on the Iru Compliance tab.

​
Troubleshooting

Check pop-up blocker settings for the Iru site and try again.
Exact copy of key/secret; confirm key was not regenerated elsewhere.
Elevate account role (Administrator/Owner).
Regenerate pair in Fivetran, update Iru immediately.
