The RapidRatings connector is a licensed rating connector: you bring your own RapidRatings subscription, and Coverbase reads your portfolio with your credentials. It works like the Black Kite integration. Ratings land on the vendor’s Certificates tab under Licensed Ratings, and changes become Radar signals.
If a RapidRatings response does not have the shape Coverbase expects, the pull stops and the panel shows The last sync failed with the reason, instead of reading the response as an empty portfolio.

​
What it does

  • Provisions monitoring once. The first time you save credentials, Coverbase adds one RapidRatings source to Radar and one detector on it, named for a financial health rating drop. Both are created once. Archiving the source stops monitoring, and saving new credentials later does not bring it back.
  • Matches companies to vendors. Each company in your portfolio is matched to a vendor by a match recorded on an earlier pull, then by its domain (walking up to the parent domain, never down), then by its exact legal name. A company that matches no vendor is skipped.
  • Records the rating. Each pull records the matched vendor’s Financial Health Rating (0 to 100).
  • Signals only on change. A Radar item is raised only when a stored rating moved. The first pull is a baseline, so connecting a provider does not flood Radar.

​
The detector

The detector starts enabled, alerting on a drop of 10 points or more between pulls. Edit it like any other Radar detector. It has three gates, and at least one must be set. A rating change alerts only when it passes every gate that is set. Minimum drop and Alert below take zero or more, in the provider’s own units. Alerts go through the ordinary Radar path, so reassessment triggers and monitoring plan signal rules see them like any other signal.

​
Authentication

RapidRatings uses OAuth 2.0 client credentials at https://api.rapidratings.com/oauth/token. Coverbase reads your portfolio from /v1/portfolio/companies.
  1. Ask RapidRatings for API client credentials for your portfolio.
  2. Add the vendors you want monitored to that portfolio.

​
Set up in Coverbase

  1. Open Configuration → External Integrations and click Rapid Ratings.
  2. Enter Client ID, Client Secret. The panel notes: “Saving the credentials adds a RapidRatings source to Radar for Financial Health Rating changes.”
  3. Click Save, then Test connection.
  4. Open Radar to find the new source and its detector.
The panel never shows a stored secret again. Remove deletes the stored credentials; ratings already pulled stay.
