There are two options to connect your project to your custom UI, using web API keys or using a token server. The easier and more secure option is using the web API keys method.
If you have an orchestration server, you should use the advanced connection configuration on the Project Summary page. For details see Connecting using Token Server.
Connect Using API Keys
On a high level you would need to follow the below steps:
Create and deploy your project from Digital DNA Studio > New Project.
Create an API key and assign it to your project from the settings cog > API Keys > Create API Key.
To connect to your UI, pass in your web API key as an option when constructing your scene.
Creating API Key for Web UI
Create a web API key from the settings cog icon on the top right corner of the screen, select API Keys, and click Create API Key. The new API Key can then be assigned to your project with the specified domains it can be authenticated against.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Name for the new API key. |
Scope | Choose Web for configuring a Web API Key. |
Assign Project | Start typing the name of the project you wish to generate the API key for. Choose the name of the project from the dropdown list. You can search the project using the project name or project ID. Note: The project must be deployed before you create a Web API Key. |
I'm Developing Locally | If you are developing locally for testing your project, enable this toggle and enter the Public IP Address IPv4 or IP46 with Subnet Mask. |
Enable cross page persistence | This toggle allows the session with Digital Person to continue across multiple pages on a domain or subdomain. See Session Persistence for more details. |
Custom UI Domain | When you are ready for deploying the project, specify one or more web domain(s) in the Custom UI Domains field. |
Expiration | The expiration for web API key is set to never by default. Until its revoked manually. |
On successful creation, the API key is displayed for you to save or copy. Once your API Key is generated, you can view it at any time on the API Keys view screen.
You should revoke the key if it becomes inactive, lost, or compromised. For details see Revoke API Key.
Creating API Key for Mobile UI
Similar to the web API key, you can create API keys to connect to mobile UI (Android and iOS). In this case, select the scope as Mobile.
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Name | Name for the new API key. |
Scope | Choose Mobile for configuring an API Key for Android or iOS UI. |
Assign Project | Start typing the name of the project you wish to generate the API key for. Choose the name of the project from the dropdown list. You can search the project using the project name or project ID. Note: The project must be deployed before you create the API Key. |
Application IDs | A unique name for your mobile app. |
Expiration | The expiration for API key is set to never by default. Until its revoked manually. |
