Adding an API Client

You can add an API Client. Unlike a user, an API Client is a non human entity. After adding an API Client, a client ID and a client secret are automatically generated for the API Client. A client secret is used for authenticating the API Client with Live Hub.

Once you have added an API Client, you can assign it to a User Group(s).

The client secret is displayed only during the API Client creation process. Once added, you can't view the secret again. Therefore, you must copy the client secret during this process (when displayed) so that you can use it for configuring whatever feature requires the secret (for example, Live Hub's outbound dialing as described here).

To add an API Client:

  1. In the Main Menu pane, select API Clients; the following page appears, listing the API clients (if any):

  1. Click the Add API Client button; the following dialog box appears:

  1. In the field, type a name for the API client, and then click Next; the following pop-up window appears, displaying the generated client ID and client secret for the API client.

  1. Click the copy-to-clipboard icons to copy the client ID and secret, and store them in a secure location for future use.

  2. Click Close.
