  • have the option to cancel an authorisation request
  • check the status of authorisations already requested
  • query active or inactive relationships.

Endpoints

The way we show Agent Authorisation API v1.0 endpoints has changed, which might look different to other Developer Hub APIs.

The API has not changed. You do not need to make any updates to your application if you already use this API.
