# Create new OAuth client

`POST /tyk/oauth/clients/create`

Any OAuth keys must be generated with the help of a client ID. These need to be pre-registered with Tyk before they can be used (in a similar vein to how you would register your app with Twitter before attempting to ask user permissions using their API).
        <br/><br/>
        <h3>Creating OAuth clients with Access to Multiple APIs</h3>
        New from Tyk Gateway 2.6.0 is the ability to create OAuth clients with access to more than one API. If you provide the api_id it works the same as in previous releases. If you don't provide the api_id the request uses policy access rights and enumerates APIs from their setting in the newly created OAuth-client.
