Endpoint URL: {identityDomain} /config/{appId} /clients/{apiClientId}
Description
Returns permission and metadata information for a specific API client, including:
- _self. Configuration endpoint for the API client. For example, suppose your configuration domain is https://v1.api.us.janrain.com/and the _self value for a client is /config/htb8fuhxnf8e38jrzub3c7pfrr/clients/xj2dmg2mqsm6a8gx89cwn3fu929p4pd. Combining those two values gives you the configuration endpoint for managing that client (adding/modifying property values, deleting the client, etc.):
https://v1.api.us.janrain.com/config/htb8fuhxnf8e38jrzub3c7pfrr/clients/xj2dmg2mqsm6a8gx89cwn3fu929p4pdm
- _id.The API client ID.
- _secret. The API client secret (i.e., client password). Client secrets should never be publicly exposed.
- _settings. Configuration endpoint for the API client settings.
- name. Name (and description) of the API client.
- ipWhitelist. Collection of IP addresses allowed to interact with the client; for example, the address 192.168.1.0/24 allows access to IP addresses 192.168.10 through 192.168.1.255. The default value is 0.0.0.0/0, which allows access to all IP addresses.
- features. Client features associated with this API client. Clients can be associated with more than one feature.
Your API call must have the owner permission in order to return client data. API clients make authenticated requests against the Identity Cloud REST APIs, and clients with the login_client feature set help authenticate and register users.
