API

Application Programming Interface. An interface that one system can present so other systems can use it to communicate. Stroom has a number of APIs, e.g. its many REST APIs and its /datafeed interface for data receipt.

API Key

API Keys are a form of authentication token that are created within Stroom for use by Stroom-Proxy instances or other clients that want to use Stroom’s API. It is an encrypted string that contains details of the user and the expiration date of the token. Possession of a valid API Key for a user account means that you can do anything that the user can do in the user interface via the API.

Application permission

This is a permission that is not specific to a single document. It applies to all documents or is not related to documents in any way.
