Get an App

Get an App

Use this API to get the configuration settings of an app. This is useful for backing up app configuration or cloning apps.

For example, to clone an app you would take the response from this API and POST it to the Create Apps endpoint.

The response payload is broken into sections which group together common attributes such as parameters, sso settings and configuration. The attributes in each section change based on the type of app that has been returned. See below for samples of SAML and OpenId Connect apps.

Resource Parameters

required
