Connecting Alteryx to Bombora via API

Anyone know if the marketo connector works to connect to Bombora?  Or will I need to build an API using Bombora API information?

 

Anyone out there connected to Bombora?

It looks like the Bombora API is fairly straightforward as seen here: https://bombora-partners.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/1212420/Bombora+API

 

"Authorization and Headers

  • Ensure you have received API access from Bombora. You will receive an authorization key which will be a base 64 encoded string of username and password in the format of username:password
  • Each endpoint requires this authorization key in the header.
  • See documentation for each endpoint for complete header and request body."

 

It sounds like they either provide you the base64 encoded string already which you just pass to a download tool, or you will need to create a string with the format of username, colon, password that you then pass through a base64 encoder tool (developer category) in order to create the new string. This new field should be named authorization and the value should be "Basic YOURBASE64KEYHERE". This needs to be passed in as a header so you just check the box for authorization in the headers tab of the download tool. 

 

It looks like most of these are GET requests, so your HTTP action will most likely be GET depending on the endpoint you are reaching out to: https://bombora-partners.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOC/pages/17006598/Get+Topic+by+Name+or+ID

 

And you will want to make sure that in your payload category you are properly providing the name/value pairs that the specific endpoint is asking for.
