Customize AppID for the developer App, is it possible?

[#1]

We have a requirement for the developer application, use customized appId instead of the apigee generated appId, is it possible? Currently, we're using management API to create the dev application.

@Ethan Ma ,

Yes, It's possible. Leverage developer app attributes to store custom AppId. If you are talking about developer portal context, you need to write a small custom module which needs little bit of drupal expertise which auto-adds custom id everytime user creates developer app.

If you want a field in developer portal Add App Screen where developer can add id manually, it's available out of the box using configuration instead of writing code.

Keep us posted if you have any queries.

Actually, I'm doing this from the apigee API.

http://docs.apigee.com/management/apis/post/organizations/%7Borg_name%7D/developers/%7Bdeveloper_ema...

It seems I cannot overwrite the appId that is generated by the apigee edge.

Payload sample:

---------------------

{

"appId":"353d4706-4670-4c8f-9896-3c3fc117efcb",

"name": "hello",

"apiProducts": ["test"],

"attributes": [

{

"name": "DisplayName",

"value": "hello"

},

{

"name": "Notes",

"value": "my note"

},{

"name": "appId",

"value": "353d4706-4670-4c8f-9896-3c3fc117efcb"

}

],

"callbackUrl": "http://www.hellon.com"

}

----------------

The response appId will be something totally different than what's in the request.

@Ethan Ma , Yes , App Id is the unique machine id generated by Apigee Edge for each app. You cannot override / update same. If you need to maintain some custom id along with app, App Attributes is the way to go. You can update / delete app attributes anytime.

Hope it helps.

is the app id always in the same format?

yes, since it's generated.
