Connect a recurly account

Create or update a Recurly connection for one business entity, or the whole site when it has none. Re-submitting the same site (and business entity, when selected) updates its stored key rather than creating a second connection. Returns 400 if the key is invalid or `businessEntityId` is missing when required. A multi-org credential must send an `Organization-Id`, `Connection-Id` or `Entity-Id` selector, or gets a 400.

Category: Connections

Request body:
apiKey (string, required) - Recurly private API key.
businessEntityId (string) - Selected business entity id; required when multiple exist.
businessEntityName (string) - Selected business entity display name.
businessEntityCode (string) - Selected business entity code.
multipleBusinessEntityEnabled (boolean) - Whether the Recurly site supports multiple entities.
historicalSyncStartDate (string) - Import floor for a brand-new connection, as YYYY-MM-DD. Ignored on reconnect. `null` imports all available history.

Response fields:
id (string, required) - Kintsugi's unique identifier for the connection.
organizationId (string, required) - Id of the organization this connection belongs to.
platformEntityId (string) - The platform's own identifier for the entity this connection points at (e.g. a QuickBooks realm id, D365 company id, NetSuite subsidiary id). Use it to resolve a connection from an id you already hold. `null` until captured on (re)connect or backfilled.
externalId (string, required) - The connection's own external identifier: an Apideck consumer id for a Vault-backed source, or the platform-specific value the connector stores (e.g. a Shopify shop id, a Stripe publishable key).
source (string, required) - Origin platform of the connection (e.g. SHOPIFY, QUICKBOOKS). Any origin outside the published values is reported as OTHER.
  allowed values: ACUMATICA, AIRWALLEX, AMAZON, API, APPLE_APP_STORE, BESTBUY, BIGCOMMERCE, BILL_COM, BUNNY, CAMPFIRE, CHARGEBEE, CHECKOUTCHAMP (and 58 more, see the reference page)
status (PublicConnectionStatusEnum, required) - Lifecycle status of the connection.
  allowed values: ACTIVE, INACTIVE, CONNECTION_ERROR
storeName (string) - Human-readable store or account name for the connection; an empty string when the connection has none.
