Api Key - ArcGIS Runtime 100.10 - Feature Service Access

Question

Good Afternoon,

I noticed in the release notes for the ArcGIS Runtime 100.10 that API Keys can now be configured for use with Feature Services.   However I've created an API Key and it appears to only allow Location Services to be configured.  I see the Content section under editing the API Key however it spells out that OAuth 2 is the only method of access.

In general what we are wanting to do is have access to ArcGIS Online and ArcGIS Portal secured services to use within our application.  We would like to avoid the use of individual named user model being this is shipped out to vehicle fleets.   The API Key seems to be a potential solution to this issue.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Benjamin

@Benjamin1 Joe shared the appropriate links above.

To summarize:

Currently only ArcGIS Developers Accounts have the ability to add and manage Content and Items with API keys.

To access organizations items you should continue to use an ArcGIS Identity, either a named user or application credentials: https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/security-and-authentication/other-authentication-methods/application-credentials/

I'm looking at the documentation for API Keys https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/security-and-authentication/api-keys/

At the bottom there is a table which lists the services Available services

Followed by, Access content and items (beta)

Only ArcGIS Developer accounts can use API keys to read private content. ArcGIS Organization users should use OAuth 2.0 to obtain ArcGIS identity credentials to read private user content and access services on a user's behalf.

They would need to figure out how to have licensing and the API key tied together.  My guess is that once they work out a plan it would have to go through an account manager to be all setup.
