You Must Create a GameWisp Channel to Register an Application

Don't forget, you need a GameWisp channel before you can successfully register an application on GameWisp. There is, however, no need to set up a detailed channel with tiers, benefits, etc.

Registering your Application

Registering your application entails generating client credentials. First create a channel on GameWisp. There is no need to setup a full GameWisp campaign (e.g., with tiers, benefits, etc.), but the channel must exist before client credentials can be generated.

Once a channel is created, you can generate client credentials by visiting your channel dashboard (https://gamewisp.com as a logged in user), clicking on Configuration from the subnav menu

Once on the Application Integrations page you can use the "Developer Integration" section to create a Client ID and Client Secret. You will need to provide the Client Name and a Redirect URL. The Redirect URL will handle receiving the authorization code from GameWisp and requesting an access token.

Upon clicking the "Generate Application" button, your client credentials will be displayed. In addition to the client ID, you will also be presented with a client secret. Store this secret immediately, it will not be displayed again once the page is reloaded.

Store and Protect your Client Secret!

Client secrets are only shown upon clicking the "Generate Application" button, so be sure to store the secret somewhere immediately! If you lose or need to regenerate the secret, you can click the "New Secret" button later.
