To publish domains from Honeydew to ThoughtSpot, Honeydew connects to the ThoughtSpot REST API. Honeydew authenticates with a Username and a Secret Key, using trusted authentication to obtain a session token. This builds on the Honeydew data warehouse connection in ThoughtSpot.

​
API Access Setup

1

Obtain a secret key in ThoughtSpot

  1. Sign in to ThoughtSpot as an administrator.
  2. Enable trusted authentication and copy the generated secret key. See ThoughtSpot’s trusted authentication documentation for the steps, which differ between ThoughtSpot versions.
  3. Choose the ThoughtSpot user that Honeydew acts as, and note its username.
    The user must be allowed to create and update tables, and must have access to the Honeydew data warehouse connection in ThoughtSpot.
  4. Note your ThoughtSpot domain — the URL of your instance (for example https://my-team.thoughtspot.cloud).
2

Configure Honeydew with the credentials

  1. Sign in to Honeydew with a user that has administrator privileges.
  2. Open the user settings menu.
  3. Navigate to ThoughtSpot → Settings.
  4. Enter the following information:
    • Domain — your ThoughtSpot domain (for example https://my-team.thoughtspot.cloud)
    • Username — the ThoughtSpot user that Honeydew acts as
    • Secret Key — the secret key generated in the previous step
Once API access is set up, you can publish a Honeydew domain to ThoughtSpot as a table. See Metadata Sync for the properties Honeydew syncs, and ThoughtSpot-specific Metadata for field formatting.
