Manage apps and API keys using the Developer portal

Using the Developer portal, users can:

• Read documentation published on the Developer portal
• Create a new app to generate an API key
• Manage API keys
• Manage apps, and
• Use the Try it out console to test the APIs

Create a new app to generate an API key

1. On the Developer portal, select Sign in (top right of the screen).
2. Sign in using your credentials.
3. Once you have signed in, from the user account dropdown, select Apps. The My apps page displays.
4. Select Create new App to create a new app. The Create a new app page displays.
5. Type a name for the app, and select the API products you want to associate this app with. Note: When you enter the app name, the Developer portal validates it and display errors if the name contains special or invalid characters.
6. Select Create app to confirm your changes. An API key/secret pair is automatically generated for your app and your newly created app displays on the My apps page. The details include the API key, secret information, products associated with the API key and the status of the API key and products associated with it.

A new app is a unique ID and is associated with a specific URL for the portal.
