How to Use a Subscribed API

Users logged in to a Developer Portal for an Org can create applications. These applications have an associated client id and a client secret. The user can subscribe an application to any API on the portal that allows subscriptions. 

How to Use Your Application Secret to Use an API

Once your application is a approved for subscription to an API, you can use the application's client secret to execute the API via the Authorization header at type token. For example:

Authorization: token <client secret>

The application client secret acts as your API Key to access an approved API.

Edit an Application
