Symantec App Center Group

While reading https://clientui-kb.symantec.com/resources/sites/BUSINESS/content/live/DOCUMENTATION/6000/DOC6027/en_US/App_Center_Administration_Guide_4.pdf page 40, it was mentioned that "App Center has an API that can be used to retrieve data that can be used to build custom reports, and for other 
applications, to gain access to relevant information stored in the App Center database".

After searching Symantec Connect, I cannot find any example or more detailed documentation.

Can anyone help to show a simple example (maybe in Java or HTML5??) on how to use the APIs?

Hi Laura,

Thanks for your reply.  I manage to use the guide and get it working.

Is it possible to generate a read-only API key (e.g. can only do "list policy"), and another API key for "write" (e.g. add policy, delete policy)?

Or we can only have 1 API key for both "list" and "add"/"delete"?

Regards.

Simon

Hello Simon,

You can have up to 10 API keys active at any one time. The keys are not specific to any particular API function, so you can use any key with any of the APIs.

Hope this helps you!

Hi Simon,

Although we don't have a read only API key, one way to accomplish what you want is to call the API with the API Key + the user name who has limited access. 

Let me know if this helps.
