Kotlin

Create your Vonage Application

In this step you will create a Vonage Application capable of in-app messaging communication use cases.

Open a new terminal window and create a project directory in a destination of your choice and change into it:

mkdir vonage-tutorial cd vonage-tutorial

Create a Vonage application by copying and pasting the command below into terminal:

vonage apps create 'Your application'

✅ Creating Application
Saving private key ... Done!
Application created

Name: Your application
Application ID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
Improve AI: Off
Private/Public Key: Set

Capabilities:
  None Enabled

Now that your Vonage Application has been created, update your CLI auth with the Application ID and Private Key:

vonage auth set `
--local `
--api-key='your-api-key' `
--api-secret='your-api-secret' `
--app-id='your-application-id' `
--private-key=C:\path\to\private.key

API Key: your-api-key
API Secret: your-**************
App ID: your-application-id
Private Key: Is Set

✅ Checking API Key Secret
✅ Checking App ID and Private Key

Webhooks about events in your conversation can be sent to your rtc-event-url. We will not be using them in this tutorial, so just use a sample URL with this command to enable RTC on your Vonage Application. Make sure to replace the Vonage Application ID in the command with the one you created earlier:

vonage apps capabilities update 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 messages `
  --messages-inbound-url='https://example.com/messages/inboud' `
  --messages-status-url='https://example.com/messages/status' `
  --messages-version='v1' `
  --no-messages-authenticate-media
