API accounts
API programming in the API portal is designed as a rule to be independent of the Climatix IC concept.
Developer APIs require 'Keys' ('Primary key' and 'Secondary key') to test and ultimately publish code. Climatix IC offers a user interface with 'API accounts' that generate 'Keys' via the user interface to support organizational workflows.
NOTICE
- Climatix IC does not actually generate the keys; it merely houses the process.
- Of course, you can still generate keys as always in the API portal.
A typical scenario can be described as follows:
An OEM tenant with subscription that includes the API function package (IC30, IC40) contracts one or more (internal or external) API/APP developers to program APPs in the tenant area. The programmers receive the aforementioned keys.
Procedure in API accounts
- Your tenant has a subscription↑ with API function package (IC10, IC30, IC40).
- You have the role of Tenant Administrator.
- Go to "Administration > Tenants > Area: API accounts".
- The menu 'API accounts' is enabled as part of the subscription to the API function package. The key is stored there.
- The key is used for API development and testing (see section 'Documentation').
- The key can be regenerated as needed.
- On how to use API keys: See next section 'API Key'.
