Generating API Key
The API key helps in authorizing the subscription for the client while the client requests the product information. API Key is generated from the Client Subscriptions icon on the left side of the Applications screen.
After the Client Subscription is created by adding the required product/products as described in the previous section, perform the below action:
Click the product name that has been added to the Subscribed Products editor (under Products in Subscription).
The Consumer Key and the corresponding Consumer Secret number will be displayed under the Subscribed Products section itself.
- Ensure that the client subscription is saved (click the Save icon) after adding the product. Else, it will not generate the keys.
- The Consumer Key can be reset to a new one by clicking the Regenerate button.
For secure access to the project, the generated key and secret need to be passed while calling the API.
