## Challenges Tray.ai solves

### Keeping Financial Edge NXT credentials out of logs

A raw API call usually means pasting a key or token into the request, where it ends up in step inputs, logs, and screenshots.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Store Financial Edge NXT credentials once as a Tray.ai authentication and reference them from the HTTP Connector. Tray.ai masks authentication values in logs, so the secret never shows up in a step's input or output.

### Going from the Financial Edge NXT API docs to a working call

Translating an example request from API docs into a workflow step means copying the method, URL, headers, and body by hand.

**How Tray.ai helps:** Paste a cURL example from the Financial Edge NXT API docs into the HTTP Connector and Tray.ai fills in the method, URL, headers, and body for you.

### Handling files and non-JSON responses

Not every API answers in JSON. Some return XML, files, or binary data, or expect a multipart upload.

**How Tray.ai helps:** The HTTP Connector parses JSON and XML responses, returns files you can pass to the next step, and sends multipart form data for uploads.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Tray.ai connect to Financial Edge NXT?

Yes. Tray.ai connects to Financial Edge NXT through the HTTP Connector, which calls the Financial Edge NXT API directly. Any call the Financial Edge NXT API documents can run as a step in a Tray.ai workflow.

### How does Tray.ai authenticate with Financial Edge NXT?

The Financial Edge NXT API uses OAuth 2.0 and an API key in a request header. You save it once as a Tray.ai authentication, and the HTTP Connector adds it to every request.

### Can I get a dedicated Financial Edge NXT connector?
