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
