A public application is any app that integrates with our API that is intended for public distribution. Examples of public apps include: Melonly, Sonoran CAD & CMS, Ducky, and more!
If your app makes requests for more than one server, you must use a public application. Unauthenticated requests made on behalf of multiple servers are refused with error code 2005.

How can I get started?

Creating a public app is easy, once you have built some sample features, you can register an application on our API Dashboard.
