Developers can add applications of their own through the Kotak Developer Connect Portal. Once you get access to the Kotak Developer Connect portal, you can start using our APIs. By default, you are assigned an account default plan. To know more about the plans, click here.

Once you login to your account, you get access to a dashboard which allows you to create an application and provide usage analytics options.

In order to consume an API, you need to “Add an Application” by clicking in the Applications tab and then “Add Application”. Here, you can add all the required APIs in your application and request access. The admin shall shortly approve your access depending on the APIs you have chosen.

To add a new application:

• Go to the Dashboard. You can access it by clicking the Dashboard near your profile picture.
• In the left navigation pane, click Applications. The list of your applications will appear.
• On the Manage Applications screen, scroll below and click ‘Add Application’ to add an application.
• Enter your application name and then choose an appropriate platform for the application from the drop-down menu.
• Provide a brief description of your application and click ‘Next Step’ to proceed to the ‘API Management’ tab. Refer to the table below.
• You are now ready to add APIs to your application as per usage. Select the API you want to add to your application from the dropdown menu under the Add API header and accept the Terms and Conditions.
• In case your application requires the usage of multiple APIs, you can easily add multiple APIs to the same application by repeatedly following the above steps and by selecting the required APIs from the dropdown menu under the Add APIs header.
• Once satisfied, click ‘Next Step’ to proceed to ‘Auth’ tab where you can optionally provide ‘Callback URL’, ‘Scope’ and ‘ Type’ for the authentication procedures. Refer to the table below.
• Click Save when done.

Note: The system will send you an email confirming the API application. Your application shall be reviewed and approved by an API manager admin. It might take up to a day to get your application approved. The application appears on the Applications page, showing a status of Pending Approval.

• You can view the approval status of your application in the Application table on the same page. You can also review the details of the application by clicking the gear icon next to the application name.
• After the application has been approved or rejected, the Organisation Administrator will receive an email notification of its status. An approved application will have a status of Active and will be assigned an API Key. If an application is rejected, it will be returned with a status of Rejected with details of the rejection sent via email. You can then edit the application. After you save your edits, the application will be added to the Business Manager's queue with a status of Revised. Rejected applications can only be revised once. See "Edit Applications " for details.

Please login to the API manager and navigate to the Application tab from the left navigation pane. Click on the gear icon next to your application for configuration, select Edit and go to the Auth tab to retrieve Key and Secret. You can also see your API key from the Applications table under the API key column.

  • Click on the API specific doc, say Pan Verification Doc, to read the various properties of the API. Scroll below to see a sample example query XML or JSON code.
  • Copy and paste this sample query code in the Test Suite tab, as required.
  • You can also define parameters via the Add Parameter dialog box that can be used to add additional parameters that are not otherwise specified in the WADL file.
