Content Publish API
The Content Publish API is used to view, modify, submit, and change the status of apps registered in Galaxy Store Seller Portal and provides programmatic access to the same types of functionality provided by Seller Portal.
The Content Publish API is part of the Galaxy Store Developer API. You must meet all of the requirements of the Galaxy Store Developer API including, but not limited to, creating the access token and including the access token in the authorization header of every Content Publish API call.
For more information about registering apps, app status, or using Seller Portal, refer to the Galaxy Store Seller Portal User Guide.
