Wolfram|Alpha credentials

You can use these credentials to authenticate the following nodes:

  • Wolfram|Alpha

Supported authentication methods​

  • API key

Refer to Wolfram|Alpha's Simple API documentation for more information about the service.

Using API key​

To configure this credential, you'll need a registered Wolfram ID and:

  • An App ID

To get an App ID:

  1. Open the Wolfram|Alpha Developer Portal and go to API Access.
  2. Select Get an App ID.
  3. Enter a Name for your application, like Otera integration.
  4. Enter a Description for your application.
  5. Select Simple API as the API.
  6. Select Submit.
  7. Copy the generated App ID and enter it in your Otera credential.

Refer to Getting Started in the Wolfram|Alpha Simple API documentation for more information.

Resolve Forbidden connection error​

If you enter your App ID and get an error that the credential is Forbidden, make sure that you have verified your email address for your Wolfram ID:

  1. Go to your Wolfram ID Details.
  2. If you don't see the Verified label underneath your Email address, select the link to Send a verification email.
  3. You must open the link in that email to verify your email address.

It may take several minutes for the verification to populate to the API, but once it does, retrying the Otera credential should succeed.
