Before you start

Huntbase signs in to Equinix with API Token. Create the credential in Equinix first, then keep it to hand for the Connect step.

1. In the Equinix Metal console, go to the API Keys tab of your user account.
2. Click Add New Key and enter a description.
3. Choose Read-only permissions, then create the key and copy it.

Permissions:

• A Read-only key, which can only list and view existing resources.

Watch out for

• Equinix Metal was sunset on June 30, 2026, and Equinix will remove its user documentation on September 30, 2026. New connections may not work.

For the vendor's own instructions, see Equinix Metal API key documentation.

tip

Use a dedicated, read-only credential for Huntbase where the product allows it. Huntbase only needs to read.

Connect Equinix

1. Go to Connections and click New connection, or click New connection on the Equinix product page.
2. On Product, pick Equinix and choose the Owner.
3. On Details, give the connection a Name and, optionally, a Description.
4. On Connect, fill in the settings and credentials described below.
5. On Verify, review the summary and click Create & check.

For everything else on the setup page — saving a draft, I'll do this later, and what each check result means — see Connections.

Credentials

The only Method is API Token. Enter a Credential label (for example Production), then fill in:
