Connectivity	Online only

This document describes how a CAA InfoEx administrator can retrieve the necessary information that will allow subscribers with their own database system to directly submit their observations via the CAAML 3.0.3 API of the InfoEx system.

Background

An operator needs two pieces of information for submitting observations to the InfoEx from a database system via the API:

• API Key
  A secret token that uniquely identifies the submitting system and provides it with administration privileges for the operation.
• Operation UUID
  The universally unique identifier of the operation used in the InfoEx system

This document describes how to generate or retrieve this information.
