Clients | Documentation

Clients can access APIs after they are added in the Client section. After adding the client, a Client Subscription is added to the APIs, thereby binding them with a single API consumer key which allows them to access the subscribed API products.

Refer to the Adding Products, Clients and Client Subscriptions section for step by step instructions to add the respective attributes.

Click the Add button to open the New Client dialog box. In the Client ID field, provide a name for the client so that the API can identify the client internally.
