Method Detail

isAuthorized

boolean isAuthorized()

Returns true if this API binding has been authorized on behalf of a specific user. If so, calls to the API are signed with the user's authorization credentials, indicating an application is invoking the API on a user's behalf. If not, API calls do not contain any user authorization information. Callers can use this status flag to determine if API operations requiring authorization can be invoked.
