How to push data from web form (.Net C#) into Anaplan.
Can we use single user credentials (Anaplan user) to generate authentication token at web form which can be used by many users logged in into web form to perform API Calls.

I think you will find answers to most of your questions here: https://community.anaplan.com/t5/Anaplan-Platform/Interaction-with-Rest-API-for-100-users/m-p/145297#M39016
I'd add, that you don't need to rely on CSVs and imports/exports - for web forms, generating CSV sounds counterproductive, I'd suggest using Transactional API instead. And I'd not use the same credentials for many users of a web form, rather authenticate them via Anaplan OAuth2 Service.

Hi,
When working with web form data most probably you are not dealing with great amounts of data per call but smaller amounts of data per call. On such a case Anaplan Transactional API is an ideal solution.With the application you can use one technical account for authentication and with that you can use Basic authentication or authentication with certification.
Anaplan Transactional API doesn't need CSVs but it uses JSON formatted data for communication. You can both read and write to Anaplan using Transactional API. Here is a link to Transactional APIs documentation: https://anaplanbulkapi20.docs.apiary.io/#/introduction/transactional-api-index .
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards,
Pyry

And here is the Official Anaplan Postman Collection where you can self-enable.
Simply export the collection and then re-import into your own postman environment.
