Authenticating
Amplitude uses API Key Auth, a developer-friendly delegated access protocol. Quolum has already connected the necessary wires with Amplitude. Using a sequence of click-throughs, your organization's administrator allows Quolum to make API calls to Amplitude without getting access to passwords.
Step 1: Initiate a connection to Amplitude
Click the Connect button from the Connections card. If you are not an admin, you can invite your organization's Amplitude admin to make a connection to your Amplitude organization account. When you click on the Connect button, the web browser will open a pop-up asking API Key and API Secret as shown in Step 2.

Step 2: Log in to Amplitude
Log in to Amplitude using your organization's credentials. The exact login mechanism may depend on your Amplitude plan, and the sign-in mechanism used. You may have corporate SSO such as Azure AD, GSuite, or Okta along with multi-factor authentication. Sometimes you may need to enter an API key and a token, the step by step details of which can be found at Create and manage organizations and projects. Once you have successfully logged-in you can find the API Key and API Secret as mentioned below in Step 3.

Under the hood
Using the OAuth protocol, Quolum now has delegated access to your Amplitude Workspace. The Quolum server, running on Amazon AWS VPC, will be able to make API calls and retrieve feature-level utilization. Later, this data is crunched and available for visualization on the Quolum dashboard.
