About API Clients
An API client refers to any application or service that wants to access the Zscaler API resources and retrieve data. You can configure and manage the API clients in the ZIdentity Admin Portal, along with their authentication information and necessary scope to access the API resources. ZIdentity is the authorization server that validates the API client's request and issues an access token that must be used to access the API resources via the OneAPI server.
API clients include the following key features and benefits:
- Consistent API experience across all Zscaler services.
- Consistent authorization through ZIdentity.
- Access resources across all Zscaler services with entitlements via role-based access control.
