How to Obtain Your Own Nokia appID and Token

Hamishwillee - Made minor tidy up

Hi Oskar

Nice article.

FYI, a couple of points on wiki style:

• when you link to a wiki article, please use the format [[Article to link to name]] rather than the URL. This gives us information about whether the link is valid and allows us to track backreferences when we clean up articles in future
• While the br tag can be used to add lines, it is better just to add an empty line where you need them - it makes the text more readable when editing. There are exceptions of course.

Can you also please update your profile and make it public. At the moment its not possible to tell even if you are a community member or work for Nokia.

Regards

Hamish
