💖 NAME 💖

c8y-applications-create — Create application. Okay bestie, this is the c8y(1) manual page for the command that literally creates an app, and we are going to go through every single flag like it’s a group chat. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

c8y applications create [flags]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Create a brand-new application using explicit settings. No cap, that’s the whole vibe: you tell it exactly what you want, and it makes the app. 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• --availability="" — access level for other tenants. Possible values are MARKET, PRIVATE (default). Tenant visibility tea, bestie. ✨

• -d, --data=[] — static data to be applied to body. Accepts JSON or shorthand JSON, i.e. --data 'value1=1,my.nested.value=100'. Shorthand JSON is lowkey iconic.
• --externalUrl="" — URL to the external application. Required when application type is EXTERNAL.
• -h, --help[=false] — help for create. Your lil “what does this do again?” button.
• --key="" — Shared secret of application.

🫶 OPTIONS INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS 🫶

These are the parent-command flags that come along for the ride, bestie. They’re inherited, not invented by this command, but they’re still absolutely doing main character energy. 👑

• --includeAll[=false] — include all results by iterating through each page.
• -k, --insecure[=false] — allow insecure server connections when using SSL. Use with care, bestie — the name is literally “insecure.”

• --maxJobs=0 — maximum number of jobs. 0 = unlimited (use with caution!). ⚠️ Use with caution — the manpage said it, not me.
