Developer credentials tool

What is the developer credential tool?

The developer credential tool is a tool in a portal that allows you to create and define the properties for a developer credential. You typically create a new set of developer credentials for each application you develop. Each credential will have a specific set of properties that support the type of authentication you are implementing and the type of functionality required by your application.

You use the developer credential tool to:

• Create API key and OAuth 2.0 credential items for your custom applications
• Create a client_id and client_secret
• Define the privileges for a credential (API key and app credentials only)
• Define the items a credential can access (API key and app credentials only)
• Set the expiration date (API key and app credentials only)
• Set the redirect and referrer URLs

How to use the developer credential tool

You access the developer credential tool by creating a new item.

The steps to use the creator are:

1. Sign in to your portal.
2. Click to Content > My Content > New item.
3. Click Developer Credentials.
4. Click the type of credentials you want to create: API key credentials or OAuth 2.0 credentials.
5. Select and define the properties required for the type of authentication you are implementing. e.g.
   • Expiration data
