    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:

    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.

You can use the REVOKE button to delete active credentials. To learn more, see Deleting API credentials.
