Creating a Space

Creating a New Space

A Space is where your team can collaborate to create, use, observe, and maintain your own set of Formata APIs and endpoints.

We use the API and endpoint terminology for familiarity, but APIs in Formata are not associated with HTTP or a specific technology. Rather, endpoints in Formata are accessed via a subject path, consisting of a space path name (unique to the Space), version name, API path name, and endpoint name. Each endpoint has a Handler, which gets executed when a message is heard with its subject.

When you first log into Formata, you'll have the opportunity to create a new Space. Typically, each organization has one Space. For example, at Formata, we have one space with a display name "Formata" and a path name of "formata". When calling endpoints in the Formata space, we use the path name "formata" to denote the Space we are calling into.

Please contact us after you've created your Space to set up a subscription and have access to start creating APIs and endpoints.

If you need multiple Spaces, you are able to create more. However, you'll need to contact us for each to either add it to your subscription or create a new subscription for it.
