Step 1: Create an App in the Developer Console

Overview

While this might seem like an interesting first step, you’ll need to make an app in the developer console before doing anything else. This app will provide the API Key ID necessary to configure a secure token to call the Search API as done in the next step.

Create an App

  1. Create an app in the Developer Console and give it a name of your choosing.
  2. Navigate to the API Credentials tab and click on ENDPOINT next to API permissions. Give your app access to: Content Delivery API Entities endpoint (Read Only permission)
  3. In the same tab further down, click “Generate Custom Tokens with a Secret Key”. You’ll be able to copy the key ID and insert that into the policy you’re creating in CaC in the next step.
  4. The implementer will need to request a higher quota for the Yext Auth app by submitting a request to API support at https://help.yext.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.
