Overview

An application represents the software or service that you (as a developer) are building and that will consume APIs from the portal.

Applications are important because they:

  • Creating a formal registration for your integration.
  • Provide API keys or OAuth credentials for authentication.
  • Manage subscriptions to products (you cannot subscribe to a product without an application).
  • Help you monitor usage, quotas, and analytics per app.

Think of an application as the bridge between your project and the APIs offered in the portal.
