Connecting to Wrike

To authenticate to Wrike, you can use either Token authentication or the OAuth standard. Use Permanent Token authentication to connect to your own data. Use OAuth to allow other users to connect to their data.

Using Token authentication

To receive a permanent token, open your application in the App Console and click 'Obtain token'. In order to authenticate, set the APIKey in the ProfileSetting property to your Wrike Permanent Token.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\Wrike.apip;ProfileSettings='APIKey=your_api_key';

Using OAuth Authentication

In order to authenticate via OAuth, you will first need to register and configure the Wrike API application. You can find the client credentials of your application and manage other options in the Wrike App Console.

After setting the following connection properties, you are ready to connect:

AuthScheme: Set this to OAuth.
OAuthClientId: Set this to the client id that you received upon app registration.
OAuthClientSecret: Set this to the client secret that you received upon app registration.
CallbackURL: Set this to the Redirect URI you specified in your app.
InitiateOAuth: Set this to GETANDREFRESH. You can use InitiateOAuth to manage the process to obtain the OAuthAccessToken.

Example connection string

Profile=C:\profiles\Wrike.apip;Authscheme=OAuth;InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OAuthClientId=your_client_id;OAuthClientSecret=your_client_secret;CallbackUrl=http://localhost:33345;
