Applications

Applications give you access to all of Wink’s features as a developer. You can access all the same data and even extend Wink’s own features. You can choose to use Wink’s OAuth2 server to authenticate your travel site the same way you would use Google or Facebook. That way you can extend Wink’s features into your own website or application.

Note

Your first app is already created when you create a new account. We use the the app for some booking scenarios.

You cannot re-use this app. Please create new apps as you need them.

Sample application entry

Note

An application generated on Wink can be used for all API endpoints.

1. Select the account you want to work with from Accounts.
2. Click on Actions from the bottom of the account card and choose to Manage account.
3. Click the Applications tab on the following page.
4. This section will list all your applications.
5. Choose to edit an existing one or create a new one.

Create app

As you cannot access the secret key of the app we created for you, you will need to create your own.

Caution

You need to create an affiliate account on Wink or an account on TripPay before you create an app as you will be binding your application to a specific account.

Here are the steps to creating an application:

1. From the apps page, click the Create new application button.
2. Name Give your app a name. e.g. Cool App
3. Entity name Link your app with one of your existing accounts. e.g. Cool Account
4. Redirect URIs At least one redirect URI is required. It is used for validating the redirect domain after a successful authentication. e.g. https://www.cool-site.com
5. Click the Save button to continue.

You are redirected back to your list of applications. You will see your new app in the list and have access to the app secret key only this once. Make sure to copy it and save it in a safe place.

You will need to update your app if one of your redirect URIs change or you want to add or remove a URI.
