Applications

Applications are the equivalent of users but for services, not people. Every call to our API must be done on behalf of one Application.

Every Application has a CLIENT_ID and a CLIENT_SECRET. These can be seen as the user and password of the Application. They are going to be used to authenticate all the requests to our APIs.

You can create and delete Applications from the Flanks Platform.

In the APPLICATIONS section you will find a list of your Applications. An Application can't be edited but it can be deleted. Once an Application is deleted, all the requests that use that Application to authenticate will fail and it will not be possible to get new access_tokens using this Application.

When a new Application is created, you have to provide a unique name.

After the creation, both the CLIENT_ID and the CLIENT_SECRET will be shown to you. This will be the last time we will show the CLIENT_SECRET to you. If you lose this secret, you will need to create a new Application.
