Products

A group of projects can be gathered and made available for clients by adding them to a product. This product will later be associated with a subscription to client(s), which is secured by an API Consumer Key.

This section gives descriptions of the properties available in the Products section. Refer to the Adding Products, Clients and Client Subscriptions section for step by step instructions on how to add a product.

In the New API Product dialog box that appears on clicking the Add
