When using Cloudant with BlueMix, the credentials for your database show up in various places:

| Cloudant                    | ACE           | VCAP_SERVICES |
---------------------------------------------------------------
| https://<user>.cloudant.com | URL           | url           |
| <db name>                   | Database Name | database      |
| API Key key                 | Username      | username      |
| API Key password            | Password      | password      |

Presumably the complete URL would be:

https://{username}:{password}@{user}.cloudant.com/{database}

Note the {user} token above, AFTER the password, is your Cloudant userid.

Create an API key for your Cloudant DB on the Databases panel, by clicking on the lock icon to the right of the database you want the API key added to.
