Package Keys

The Package Key page allows you to add new package keys to the Application for the list of registered users in the Boomi Cloud API Management area. A Package Key (also referred to as a key) is associated with the application and is used by the developer to make API calls. It is given to a developer to access a set of services, endpoints, and methods as defined in the respective Package-Plan. A Plan defines the exact set of limits and entitlements governing access to the APIs in the system. A Plan associated with the Package Key can be replaced with another Plan in the same Package without changing the key string and without requiring a developer to change the application code.

When a package key is created, it can be in any one of the following statuses:

  • Waiting: This indicates that the key is created and pending for approval by the administrator. The Package key is unable to make successful API calls, and the Traffic Manager rejects calls for the key.

  • Enabled: This indicates that the key is active. Depending on the plan setup, the Package Key is unable to make successful API calls, but the Traffic Manager accepts API calls for the key.

  • Disabled: This indicates that the key is disabled. The Package Key is unable to make successful API calls, and the Traffic Manager rejects API calls for the key.
