Applications

The Configure APIs and Applications > Applications link in the API Management menu opens the Applications page, which is used to view and manage your Applications that allow entities to access an API.

Users create Applications which serve to allow another entity, such as a business unit or third-party application, to access the API. An API Key is generated for each subscription of the Application so that users can be authorized for specific API access with a specific Plan.

Applications are grouped by API Gateway.
