Create a Workspace#

A workspace is a unique domain in which you can connect with data sources, create rules to filter on and act on events, store real-time data, and make data accessible via a real-time API Gateway. The rules, data sources, and datasets you create in Apperate are namespaced by your workspace name.

You can also brand your endpoint base URLs with your workspace name.

Base URL Format:

https://YOUR_WORKSPACE.iex.cloud/v1

Workspace-branded Base URL Example:

https://mycompany.iex.cloud/v1

Workspace name mycompany in the URL above, is the subdomain of iex.cloud.

Important

The workspace name is permanent, so make sure to name it exactly how you want it.

Important

Creating a workspace is optional.
