Settings

In the lower-left corner of the pgEdge Cloud console you'll find a link to the Settings dialog; you can use the Settings dialog to create an API client and obtain or set account information.

Use the tabs on the Settings page to manage account information:

  • Use fields on the API Clients tab to create and manage API client details.
  • The Team tab displays information about your pgEdge account; if you need to reach out for support from pgEdge, use the information to identify your account.
  • Navigate to the Map tab to review a world map that displays the names and locations of selected servers.

The API Clients Tab

Select the API Clients tab to view, manage, or create an API client.

The API Clients tab

You can use options accessed on the API Clients tab, to define and delete API clients. To create an client, select the Create API Client icon. When the Create API Client popup opens:

  • Provide a user-friendly name for the API client in the API Client Name field.
  • Provide a brief description of the API client in the Description field.

Then, to create the API client, click the Create button.

Register an API Client

When you create an API client, you will be provided an Auth ID and Auth Secret that you can use when connecting to pgEdge Cloud with the API, and the new client will be added to the API Clients list.

import { Callout } from 'nextra/components'

Be sure to copy your `Auth Secret` when it is displayed on the `Client created` popup and store it in a safe place; the `Auth Secret` cannot be retrieved once the popup is closed.

API Client created

To delete one or more API client(s), check the box to the left of the client name and select the Delete selected client button, or choose the Delete option from the context menu located to the right of the API client identifiers in the API Clients table. When prompted, click the Confirm button to delete the selected client(s).
