CCB API User Setup Considerations

You can use any designation you want for your API login name. There are three parts to a CCB API user.

Name is the identifier within CCB which is not used when BombBomb authenticates to the CCB API. Use the name field to identify the service which connects to CCB with this API user. In this case, use BombBomb for the Name.

If you use other CCB Preferred Service Providers, such as SecureSearch, then you would create an API user for that service, perhaps named SecureSearch API, as an example.

The Login is the actual name used by BombBomb to authenticate to CCB. This can be anything you want. You can use "bombbomb" as in the example below, a person's name (no spaces) or an email address.

Some rules of CCB API users are Login must not contain spaces so "Bomb Bomb" would be an invalid Login.

Passwords must contain at least one numeric character so "CCBAPI" would be an invalid password, whereas "CCBAPI2" is a valid password. Passwords can ONLY contain letters and numbers. Do not use special characters (!@#$%, etc.) in passwords.
