Welcome to Smokeball’s app development platform. This guide covers everything you need to know about building powerful integrations and applications that extend Smokeball’s capabilities.

​
What are Apps?

Apps are self-contained applications that can be developed and deployed on our platform. They provide specific functionality and can be integrated with other services.

​
Authorization and Access

Apps provide the necessary authentication and authorization mechanisms to securely access firm data through the Smokeball API:

  • When you create an app, you receive API keys and credentials
  • Firms explicitly authorize your app to access their data
  • OAuth 2.0 flows ensure secure authentication
  • Access tokens are scoped to specific permissions
  • Firms can revoke access at any time

This secure authorization model ensures:

  • Firms maintain control over their data
  • Access is properly authenticated
  • Permissions are clearly defined

You can manage your app’s settings and API credentials through the Developer Console.
