Prerequisites

Workspace name

Workspace name is required to fetch the data from Hex. You can find the workspace name in the URL of your Hex home page.

https://app.hex.tech/<workspace_name>"

Eg: In https://app.hex.tech/acryl-partnership, acryl-partnership is the workspace name.

Authentication

To authenticate with Hex, you will need to provide your Hex API Bearer token. You can obtain your API key by following the instructions on the Hex documentation.

Either PAT (Personal Access Token) or Workspace Token can be used as API Bearer token:

• (Recommended) If Workspace Token, a read-only token would be enough for ingestion.
• If PAT, ingestion will be done with the user's permissions.
