MatthewH.10249 (State of Iowa) asked a question.

Is there a way to use Apps API to create OIN apps?

I have used the Okta APIs to create apps for SWA, SAML, OIDC and Bookmark types based on the examples in documentation. I would like to know if there is a similar way to create an app from the templates in the Okta Intergration Network (OIN) via API. https://www.okta.com/integrations/

 

I know that Bookmark is actually in the OIN so that makes me think it might be possible but I don't see examples for other types so not sure what steps I would need to follow from app to app especially since I want to do this via an automated process. I don't have a specific example app in mind as want end users to go out to the OIN and if they find an app integration they want to use I want them to provide me the exact name and then an automation in ServiceNow or Okta Workflows can use the Apps API to stub out an app of that type.

    Hey! You can take a look here on the Apps API - App Names for what I think would be an answer to your question.

     

    Basically, it looks like the app catalog is not exposed via API, so it is apparently not possible to do this at this time. "The Okta Integration Network (OIN) is a catalog of applications that can be added to your Okta organization. Each application has a unique name (key) that you must specify.

    The catalog is currently not exposed via an API. While additional apps may be added via the API, only the following template applications are documented:" The apps can be viewed at the above link.

     

    Further, it states that "The current workaround is to manually configure the desired application via the administrator UI in a preview (sandbox) organization and view the application via Get Application." But given your specific use case, I do not think this would help (but I hope it does!)

     

    There are also apps supported and you can see those at the link above, but they are all rather default type apps, such as Bookmark (which you covered already).

     

    I hope that helps!!

     

    Thanks!
