Make your first API request

After creating your app, you must install it on the Demo organization. To do that, go to the Available apps section and search for your app.

Then, click on your app and then on "+ Install App".

You will see all the permissions that your app needs and a list of parks/administrations that you need to give access to in your Demo organization. Select your Demo park and click on "Save installation" This will invoke the OAuth2 Flow to authenticate your app on your Demo organization.

After this, you will be able to find the installation details such as the API key for the organization in the installation page of the app. This is also the exact flow that a customer installing your app will go through.

Now, you can make API requests from your app using the OAuth flow and the provided authentication. You will also find the API key to access the organization on the app installation page, if you want to test out the connection.
