  1. Sign in to your Egnyte developer account.
  2. From the developers page, select Get API Key > Create a new application.
  3. Enter the required details for your new application. In the following table, we show suggested entries to quickly get an approval for your app. Note: This doesn't include all the required fields.

Request rate limit increase

Your new Egnyte application lets you connect to your Egnyte account. However, it will likely not let you migrate content to Microsoft 365 due to the limits Egnyte imposes on new applications.

  1. Sign into your Egynte developer account to determine your existing rate limit.
  2. Contact Egnyte support to request a rate limit increase for your application.

Sample request email:

Subject: Egnyte connection
Text: I would like the user rate limits increased for my application [enter application name] to [x calls] per second and [y calls] per day.
