Clients can access APIs after they are added in the Client section. After adding the client, a Client Subscription is added to the APIs, thereby binding them with a single API consumer key which allows them to access the subscribed API products.
Click the Add button to open the New Client dialog box. In the Client ID field, provide a name for the client so that the API can identify the client internally.
