Configuring the Management API

The Dashboard of the Moesif Developer Portal is powered by Moesif Embedded Templates which utilizes Moesif's Management API. This functionality enables charts and visualizations in Moesif to be seamlessly displayed within the developer portal. Additionally, the management API allows Stripe to display plans and prices within the developer portal.

Creating a Management Token for API Access

To enable API access for Stripe to retrieve plans and prices, and for the Developer Portal to utilize embedded templates, follow these steps to create a management token:

1. Navigate to Your Moesif Profile:

   • Go to Profile > API Keys.

2. Configure Token Permissions:

   • Set read access for the following resources:
     • User
     • Company
     • Plans
     • Price
     • Workspaces
     • Public Workspaces

3. Set an Expiration Date (Optional):

   • Specify an expiration date for the token if needed.

4. Generate the Token:

   • Click Generate Token to complete the process.

Copy the generated key for later use. The generated token will be essential for integrating Moesif Embedded Templates and Stripe into the Developer Portal.

Updating Environment Variables

To integrate the management token and templates, update the environment variables for your development setup.

Environment Variables for Node

• Open the my-dev-portal-api/.env file.
• Replace the following lines with the correct values:

MOESIF_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN="your Moesif management token"

• Save the .env file to ensure the updated values are persisted.

Environment Variables for Docker

• Open the distribution/docker-compose.yml file.
• Add or update the following entries in the relevant service configuration under environment:

dev-portal-api:
   environment:
      - MOESIF_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN="your Moesif management token"

• Save the docker-compose.yml file to ensure the updated values are persisted.

Next Steps

After updating the environment variables, save the changes and proceed to Configuring the Dashboards.
