How do I register my application for an API Key?

Registering for an API Key is 100% self-service, once you have had your MYOB Developer Account setup.

First step

To register your Application, log into my.myob.com.au and click on the Developer tab. This will present you with your Developer Dashboard. Clicking the Register App button will take you to the next step.

What if I don't have a Developer tab on the menu?

If you have received your welcome emails and login details, then your developer account has been set up. If you are not seeing the Developer option in the menu, check the top right of the screen for a drop-down menu (shown in picture above with 'MYOBapi Team' in it). You may be logged into the wrong account, check the other accounts.

If there are no accounts, or none of the accounts have the developer tab active, drop a quick note to our support team. We'll check that the settings on your account are correct.

Next step

To register your application, simply fill in the form.

• App Name 
  • Enter the public name of the application you are registering. This is the name people will see on the screen during the grant permission process. The App Name should be a name they are familiar with.
• Redirect Url
  • This is the URL where your application will receive the Authorization Code required for the user authentication. Click here for more details on user authentication. 
  • The Authorization Code will be in the URL as ?code={{code_here}}
  • You can use multiple locations simply by adding a comma between urls eg:
    

    https://dev.mysite.com/myob,https://staging.mysite.com/myob

  • For mobile or desktop apps you can use http://desktop as the URL. This will result in the login window refreshing and the Authorization Code will be written into the title tag of the page
• Website Address
  • What is the URL for your website
• Description
  • A short description of your solution

Hit Register Application and that's it.

Done

You will be taken back to the dashboard where you will find your application registered and your API Key and API Secret waiting for you.
