App ID
An app ID identifies an application resource in a platform, allowing API requests and management operations to target the correct application.
Also found under: Application ID, appId
How it works
An identifier tells a system which object is involved; it does not prove that the caller may use that object. Treat authorization as a separate requirement even if IDs are hard to guess. Keep the app ID distinct from public client keys and secret server credentials in configuration.
In a Pubb integration
Pubb publishing URLs contain the app ID, while the Authorization header contains the app secret. WebSocket clients connect using the public app key, which is a different value.
Set up application credentialsA practical example
Configure PUBB_APP_ID on your backend to construct /api/apps/YOUR_APP_ID/events. Supply PUBB_APP_SECRET separately as the server credential for that request.
