Application Overview

Introduction

Applications are designed for API interactions with Milesight Development Platform.

To make API calls with the Milesight Development Platform, you need to create an Application first. Each Application is equipped with a unique set of authentication information to obtain an Access Token for API interactions, facilitating tasks such as adding, managing, and configuring devices.

Each Application functions as an independent entity, when an Application is utilized to add devices via the API, the added devices are automatically associated with it. Devices associated with different Applications operate independently, facilitating the segregation of device groups and enabling separation between distinct projects or use cases.
