Generating API Key
Managing Key Approval
When a product whose key approval is marked as Manual (if Key Approval Type property of Figure 2 in Products page is selected as 'Manual') is added to a client subscription, the corresponding keys will not be available for the developers instantly. To approve the keys in such cases, the administrator has to modify the corresponding application which will be present as a client subscription.
In the Client Subscription Configuration page, click the product name which has the Manual type Key Approval and select the Approve check box that appears along with the Consumer Key that gets generated in order to complete key approval after which the keys will be visible to the developer.
