Integration steps in Hudu

Generate an API key

1. Sign in to your Hudu account

2. On the Hudu menu, navigate to Admin Account Administration and click API

   

3. In the Create new API Key section, enter a unique name for the API key, e.g. ScalePad.

   1. Leave the Optional: Restrict to Company field blank.

      1. A company-scoped API will not work. This option must be left blank in order for a global-scoped API key to be generated and work.

   2. To request an IP allowlist to only allow the API key for ScalePad IPs, see the Optional IP allowlisting section.

      

4. Click the Create New Key button to generate your ScalePad API key. The generated API key appears in the New API Key window.

   1. This is the only time you will be able to access your API key.
      The API Key will be hidden for security reasons after navigating away from this page. Once the key is generated, take note and copy the API key.

      

In case you forget your API key, simply return to Admin Account AdministrationAPI and follow the generate an API key steps. Delete the previously created API key to invalidate the key and disallow access.

When adding the Hudu integration to ScalePad, you will need to add the API key to the Hudu integration page.

Optional IP allowlisting

You can configure the IP allowlisting for ScalePad sync servers in the Allowed IP Addresses field. You can request ScalePad's IP Allowlist by contacting support.

As soon as you have allowlisted ScalePad's sync servers, you will be all set up for a successful Hudu integration. Additional information can be found in the Requesting ScalePad's IP Allowlist article.
