Authentication & Authorization

The DataGrail Mandrill integration connects using API Key authentication which requires an API Key.

Publicly exposing your API credentials can allow unauthorized access to Mandrill API endpoints by a third party. DataGrail stores your API credentials encrypted and protected.

Scopes

The Mandrill integration requires specific scopes that must be granted in order to function for a given capability.

Scope	Base	Access	Transactional Mailer
Messages > Search		✅
Senders > Domains	✅
Messages > Send			✅

Base Scopes

All base scopes must be granted in order to connect the integration with DataGrail. The remaining scopes are only required if enabling those capabilities

Endpoints Utilized

DataGrail uses the following endpoints to authorize and test the connection:

Method	Endpoint	Purpose	Docs
POST	/senders/domains.json	Validate credentials

---

Limits

Limits in Mandrill are calculated using the leaky bucket algorithm. All requests that are made after rate limits have been exceeded are throttled and an HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error is returned. Requests succeed again after enough requests have emptied out of the bucket.

• DataGrail supports requests throttling to stay within 70-80% of specified service rate limits.
• DataGrail processes API responses with HTTP 429 status to interrupt requests, waiting and retrying (using an exponential backoff strategy).
