Managing API Clients

An API client is an application that uses APIs for automating operations performed in a platform.

Facilio allows you to register the API clients, where you can configure their authentication method. The action of adding an API client is restricted to developers, as the API Client section in the application is accessible only for users who have a Developer role assigned to them. The Facilio REST APIs use the following authentication methods to authorize API calls:

  • API Key
  • OAuth 2.0

While adding an API client the application generates details such as client ID and secret key used to configure the authorization with API. Read the Authentication section in the REST API guide for more information.

Accessing API Clients

The application provides you with a separate section to manage the API clients in the application. This section is available only for users who have a Developer role assigned to them.

Adding an API Client

You can register the API clients in this section and generate the details required to configure authentication for the APIs. When you delete an API client, the access for the API client is revoked.
