Steps to create an Application

Before you create an application, ensure you meet the above requirements. If you do, then move on to the steps.

Step 1 - Access Application

To create an application, you need to access the Manage APIs’ Application functionality in API Manager. So, to do that:

• From your home screen → go to Manage APIs → select Application.

• It opens the Application window that includes the Default Application and other different applications available if already created, and other details as:
  • Application name
  • Number of APIs
  • Last Updated - when the application was used or edited
  • View - to learn more about the application

Step 2 - Create an Application

On the Application page:

• Click Create Application.

• Then, in the popup shown:
  • Enter the Application Name
  • Enter the application Description
  • Once done with the above, click Create

Info

Fields with asterisk (*) are mandatory.

The newly created application will be added to the Application’s list, as you can see in the following screenshot.

Step 3 - Tryout the Application

In the Application’s list, the newly added application won’t have any APIs. To add API(s) to it, you need to run the Tryout operation. Follow the instructions mentioned in the following articles to learn how to try out an application:

• How to use an application for a published API.
• How to use an application for an unpublished API.

Once you tryout the application, your Application will start to reflect that API in its list. That’s it; you’ve successfully created an Application. To learn more about it, visit other related topics available in this guide.
