As a Catenda Boost customer authentication to Catenda APIs is carried out through Client Credentials Grant flow.
This allows access to Catenda APIs without requiring that your users also own a Catenda account. This ensures that you have complete control over your users and their access rights.
All API operations are performed on behalf of the Catenda Boost account with no access control restrictions. Application users and control management takes place within your application. Leverage the unique identifiers provided on all resources to assign operations to users managed within your application.
Additional capabilities and APIs are available on the Catenda platform. These are tailored towards our Catenda Hub customers, and while not part of the Boost offering, may prove useful and be leveraged by your application if needed.
Operations using these additional APIs may not include their full capabilities and might require extra data management within your application to unleash their full potential.
For example, the Topic API while available will require additional steps within your application to handle user attribution as all Topics will be attributed to the Catenda Boost account within the Catenda platform.
