    Important

    Ensure that you keep a copy of your client secret, as this is the only time it is visible.

    The generated Client ID and Client Secret can now be used to generate a bearer token to use when accessing other API resources. For further information, see authorization in the Coro developer portal.

    Coro adds the credentials to the API credentials list:

    "New API key entry"

    Coro displays the following information:

    • Client ID : The generated client ID.
    • Description : The name of the API credentials.
    • Created : The date and time that the API credentials were created.
    • Expires : When the API credentials expire.
    • Last used : When the API credentials were last used.
