Process Flow

The following figure shows the process of calling an API.

  1. Obtaining an API

    Obtain an API and its documentation from an API provider.

  2. Creating an App and Getting Authorized

    APIs that use app authentication can only be called using apps bound to them.

  3. Adding an AppCode for Simple Authentication

    API Gateway only verifies the AppCode during simple authentication.

  4. Calling the API

    Use an API test tool to call the API with app authentication credentials.
