Introduction

In this tutorial we assume you already have a RunAbove Account and have subscribed to the IoT lab. We also assume that you have read the first documentation How to manage applications using the manager. We use the curl command to illustrate examples.

To use the RunAbove API, your application must be authenticated with it. To do so you can read the How to use RunAbove API? tutorial.

        -H 'X-Ra-Consumer:the_consumer_key' \
        -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
        -d '{"cluster":"the cluster name",
            "description":"application_description",
