API Objects

Mashery API Objects

The mashery API allows access to a set of objects describing and controlling the mashery product.  These objects are represented as JSON objects.  The api provides methods for manipulating these objects.

Mashery Object Types

Each domain object returned by the Mashery API will include an object_type field.  The object_type field indicates the kind of object returned.

The supported object types are

An Application is the name of the client system that a developer is building that consumes your API.

key

role

Each object type also forms a namespace for calling methods related to that object.
