Managed APIs

Managed APIs provide access to any web-connectable data. They contain details and credentials to be used when consuming data from a web resource. The primary use case for Managed APIs is using them in scripts.

Key Value Pairs​

The key value mapping is intended to store anything that is required to consume the Managed API within native code or scripts. Anything that the code may need should be stored here. Common information stored here:

  • Credentials for authentication
  • Base URL of the API
Secure Storage

The Mobile SDK stores Managed API key-value pairs securely on iOS KeyChain and Android KeyStore.
