Building an app for the Kit App Store
Kit is opening up a world of opportunities and functionality for our creators by empowering third-party developers like you to build on top of our application and better integrate the creator’s toolkit in one place.
Building an app on Kit is completely self-serve. Here’s how you can build, test, and publish an app in your Kit account.
Visit the Kit App Store by going to “Automate” in the top navigation menu, followed by Apps. From there, select the Build tab, and click + New app at the top right.
A form will pop up. Fill it out with your app’s name, and click “Save”.
Once you do this, you’ll be directed to an app details settings page for your newly created app.
The details you provide here will be shown on the app details page that appears when users click your app’s “Learn more” option in the Kit App Store.
Only the App name
field is required when you create and test your app. But you’ll need to provide more information before you can publish the app to the Kit App Store. This information includes:
Click “Save” to save the changes to your app’s details.
An app can contain either API access, one or many plugins, or both. Here are the key differences:
To set up your app authentication strategies, visit the “Authentication” tab, where you can configure and toggle API and plugin access on and off.
For more details on authentication, visit our app authentication guide, or visit the API and plugin specific pages:
View your apps on the “Build” tab of the Kit App Store. You’ll be able to see:
From here, click Preview to view your app’s app details page, as well as install it within your own account.
Though all apps accessing our API require OAuth authentication before they can be published, a great way of prototyping and testing our API’s functionality is to use V4 API keys.
More details on creating and managing API keys can be found here.
