# Arena PLM

> Connect BonData to PTC Arena for items, BOMs, changes, and quality records

PTC Arena is a cloud product lifecycle management (PLM) and quality management system (QMS) that centralizes bills of materials, engineering changes, and quality processes for hardware teams. With BonData, you can connect to your Arena workspace to read item, BOM, and change data within Agent workflows.

## Arena PLM Session Authentication Setup

Arena's REST API authenticates by logging in with your email and password against a specific workspace to obtain a session, which is then used for subsequent requests. Follow these steps to connect BonData.

### Step 1: Get Your Workspace URL and ID

1. Sign in to [Arena](https://app.bom.com/)
2. Your API **base URL** is `https://api.arenasolutions.com/v1`
3. Note your **Workspace ID** - it is shown in **Settings** → **Workspace** and is required when you have access to more than one workspace

### Step 2: Prepare Integration Credentials

1. Identify a user account with access to the target workspace and the item, change, and quality data you want to sync
2. Confirm the account's **email** and **password** - these are posted to the `/login` endpoint to create a session

<Tip>
  Use a dedicated Arena service account for the integration so that access and audit history are separated from individual users.
</Tip>

### Step 3: Enter Credentials in BonData

1. In BonData, navigate to **Integrations** and select **Arena PLM**
2. Enter your **Email**, **Password**, and **Workspace ID**
3. Click **Connect** - BonData logs in to Arena and validates the session
