Creating a Pulsar application

A Pulsar application is a collection of Pulsar jobs (or resources to which the Pulsar engine measures). Upon each impression, Pulsar references the application ID (appID) to determine which set of jobs should record a measurement.

Use the PUT request below to create a new Pulsar application, replacing ACME Pulsar Tag with a relevant name for your Pulsar application. This generates an appID in response.

curl -X PUT -H 'X-NSONE-Key: $API_KEY' -d '{"name": "ACME Pulsar Tag", "active": true}' https://api.nsone.net/v1/pulsar/apps

Example response:

{
  "customer": 0,
  "appid": "x4f12h0",
  "name": "ACME Pulsar Tag",
  "active": true,
  "token": 0,
  "browser_wait_millis": 0,
  "jobs_per_transaction": 0,
  "default_config": {
    "http": true,
    "https": true,
    "request_timeout_millis": 0,
    "job_timeout_millis": 0,
    "use_xhr": true,
    "blend_metric_weights": {
      "timestamp": 0,
      "weights": [
        {
         "name": "string",
         "weight": 0,
         "default_value": 0,
         "maximize": false
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "community": true
}

Note and record the appID value (ex. x4f12h0) generated in the response. When creating a Pulsar job, you'll need the appID to specify the application with which the job is associated.
