Overview

The Optum Connections Portal provides tools and resources to:

• Generate and manage API keys
• Subscribe to events and configure webhooks
• Monitor and test triggered events

All these actions are accessible under the Developer section in the left sidebar. Here's a breakdown of each section:

Developer hub

This section provides a direct link to the full API documentation. Use this resource to understand the API endpoints, request/response formats, and other technical details.

API key

In this section, you can generate API keys for your organization. Each organization is allowed to generate up to 5 API keys.

📘

Important: Once you generate an API key, make sure to copy it immediately. For security reasons, the key will not be displayed again after generation.

Event subscriptions

This section allows you to subscribe to events and configure webhooks. Here's how it works:

• Provide a webhook URL where event notifications will be sent.
• Select the events you want to subscribe to.
• Subscribe to as many events as needed and assign a unique webhook URL for each event.

For more details about events and subscribing to events, refer to the Webhooks page .

Events

In this section, you can monitor the events triggered. This is useful for testing and debugging purposes. You can view the details of triggered events and ensure your integration is working as expected.
