This article discusses why results vary when referencing the /appLinks API endpoint from a Browser or from a different medium.
- The
/api/v1/users/{{UserID}}/appLinksAPI endpoint - Postman
- API calls in the browser
The apps returned via /appLinks are the App Cards seen on the user’s dashboard. If a user is assigned to an application that has the "Login initiated by" set to either "Okta" or "App" and Application visibility is set to "Display application icon to users", it will appear.
Please note that, when performed through a token, the API call /api/v1/users/{{UserID}}/appLinks will
not have access to the Personal Apps set up and managed by the end user. Conversely, if the call is performed through the browser by a user who has a session, they will have access to the Personal Apps set up by the end user, which are only visible to them.
