Create Applications

An application is a logical representation of a physical application such as a mobile app, webapp, device, etc. If an application needs to consume an API, it should subscribe to the required API over a selected business plan. The business plan determines the usage quota allowed for the application. A single application can have multiple API subscriptions. Each application has a consumer key and consumer secret pair. The requests to the subscribed APIs are authenticated via the tokens generated using the latter mentioned security credentials.

Applications allow you to:

  • Generate and use a single key for multiple APIs.
  • Subscribe multiple times to a single API with different service level agreements (SLAs)/business plans that operate on per access token basis.
