Gravitee scores well: a Personal Access Token plus three documented REST calls (create app, subscribe to plan, read API key) covers the full workflow. The post includes a working Node.js script that automates this flow. Key gaps noted: the v1/v2 management API split creates friction, the required PAT is a full operator token rather than a scoped onboarding credential, and the RFC 7591 Dynamic Client Registration capability lives in a separate Access Management module rather than being a first-class, unified onboarding story. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
