Applications

An application is a partner component that calls or consumes the API. The API might be called from an application running under direct control of the partner; running from a data center server, for example. It might also run outside the control of the partner, for example on a mobile phone or desktop.

A partner registers each application with TIBCO API Exchange Manager, which allocates a unique application-specific key. Partners can enable or disable access to APIs on a per-application basis by revoking or resetting keys.
