Authentication

Segment uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Segment account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Segment APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Segment's Config API is accessed programmatically using access tokens. Create access tokens via the Access Management page in your account: https://app.segment.com/{your-workspace-name}/settings/access-management. See Authentication for more details.
