In order to use Experience Cloud product API's and subscribe to events your company administrator must assign you the necessary product permissions and developer rights via the Adobe Admin Console. Please re-visit the Getting Started page and review the Dependencies if you wish to learn more.
Create a project
Once logged in click the Create New Project button in the top right corner of the browser and select Empty Project
Rename your project by clicking the Edit Project button at the top right of the browser.
Add a name and click Save
Add APIs to your project
Next you need to add an API to the project. Click the Add to Project button in the top left of the browser
Filter the list of API's by the product you wish to interface with. In this guide we'll specifically select the Adobe Experience Platform product and then select the Experience Platform API. Click Next in the lower right of the screen
Setup your Key Pair
You now need to provide an ssh key. Adobe gives you two options: Generate a key pair or Upload your public key. Choose the first option Generate a key pair and then click the button Generate Keypair in the lower right of the browser.
This will immediately download a config.zip file to your local machine that contains both both the private and public key for your Adobe I/O project.
Save this to a safe place before proceeding
Assign your Project to a Product Profile
Next you will need to choose a product profile to assign the Adobe I/O project to. After selecting a product profile click the button Save configured API in the lower right of your browser
Your screen will look different here based on your organizations licensed products so select the appropriate product profile. If you aren't sure which one to select please reach out to your company's Adobe administrator.
When done your screen should look like the below
Congratulations!
Awesome sauce! You have now setup your 1st Adobe Developer project with access to the Experience Platform APIs (or any product API's you may have selected). If you want to learn how to utilize the APIs check out the next guide where we will show you how to do so with a 3rd Party tool you may have heard of called Postman :)
Optional step - Download a pre-populated Postman environment
This is a completely optional step. In the Working with Postman guide you will also see how to manually create your own environment within Postman.
Once your project is setup you will likely want to work with the APIs. Postman is a tool that many of our other guides will reference when working with the Experience Platform APIs. To help make the experience seamless we auto generate a Postman environment file for you based off of the Developer project you created. If you would like to download it open the project and be sure you have select the Experience Platform API integration. You should then see an option in the upper right corner of the screen to Download for Postman. Clicking that should should immediately trigger a file download to your local machine named service.postman_environment.json. Note its location as you you can leverage it in the Working with Postman guide.
