Connecting to Factorial

Create an auth config

Use the dashboard to create an auth config for the Factorial toolkit. This allows you to connect multiple Factorial accounts to Composio for agents to use.

1

Select App

Navigate to Factorial.

2

Configure Auth Config Settings

Select among the supported auth schemes of and configure them here.

3

Create and Get auth config ID

Click “Create Factorial Auth Config”. After creation, copy the displayed ID starting with ac_. This is your auth config ID. This is not a sensitive ID — you can save it in environment variables or a database. This ID will be used to create connections to the toolkit for a given user.

Connect Your Account

Using API Key

1from composio import Composio

3# Replace these with your actual values
4factorial_auth_config_id = "ac_YOUR_FACTORIAL_CONFIG_ID" # Auth config ID created above
5user_id = "0000-0000-0000"  # UUID from database/app

9def authenticate_toolkit(user_id: str, auth_config_id: str):
10    # Replace this with a method to retrieve an API key from the user.
11    # Or supply your own.
12    user_api_key = input("[!] Enter API key")
13
14    connection_request = composio.connected_accounts.initiate(
15        user_id=user_id,
16        auth_config_id=auth_config_id,
17        config={"auth_scheme": "API_KEY", "val": user_api_key}
18    )
19
20    # API Key authentication is immediate - no redirect needed
21    print(f"Successfully connected Factorial for user {user_id}")
22    print(f"Connection status: {connection_request.status}")
23    
24    return connection_request.id
25
26
27connection_id = authenticate_toolkit(user_id, factorial_auth_config_id)
28
29# You can verify the connection using:
30connected_account = composio.connected_accounts.get(connection_id)
31print(f"Connected account: {connected_account}")

Tools

Executing tools

To prototype you can execute some tools to see the responses and working on the Factorial toolkit’s playground

9user_id = "0000-0000-0000"  # Replace with actual user UUID from your database

11tools = composio.tools.get(user_id=user_id, toolkits=["FACTORIAL"])
