Managing Applications

Applications store information about how developers intend to use the API. It is similar to requesting permission to access the API. The Administrator reviews the developer’s request and decides whether to approve or reject it.

You can create applications from the Developer Portal(http://evalXXXX.mashery.com) or Boomi Cloud API Management(https://evalXXXX.admin.mashery.com). Creating applications via the Boomi Cloud API Management Application page grants developers additional access.

An application is required to generate package keys, and package keys cannot exist without an associated application. Create an application if a user does not have one, or if their existing applications already have the maximum allowed set of package keys.

Adding Applications

Generally, developers create applications from the Developer Portal. You can also create applications from the Cloud API Management dashboard to grant additional access to developers. To generate Package Keys for a user, an application should be created for that user, if the user does not have one, or if the applications already have the maximum allowed set of Package Keys.
