How to get information of Heroku application during provisioning?

I developed a WCF Rest service to post as add-on on Heroku. I haven't finished all steps to appear on the Heroku add-on catalog yet, I tested this add-on using kensa.

I would like to get information of application which are going to use my add-on using following api as per heroku document

Action : GET api.heroku.com/vendor/apps/app_id

My question is: where do I need to put and how can I test it with kensa and how it will work practically when my add-on is on Heroku?

Let's take an example , following is my Post Methods of Rest Service(C#.NET) and it would call when i test it with "Kensa test provison" command in ruby command propmt

[WebInvoke(Method = "POST",

        RequestFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
        ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
        BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
        UriTemplate = "heroku/resources")]
    User PostData(User objUser);

  public User PostData(User objUser)
    {
            User usr = new User();
            usr.id = 100;
            config config = new config();
            config.MYADDON_URL = "http://localhost";
            usr.config = config;
            usr.message = "Post Data..";
            return usr;            
    }

How can i get appid/providerid without interacting with application ??

You can't retrieve provider_id while testing locally, therefore API calls to retrieve information about application or owner won't work, until you push your manifest to Heroku and start the alpha stage.

Then only information you can get from Heroku about your users is the name of the application and the owner email. There's a very important paragraph in the TOS you need to read about using users' emails.

That said, if you need to get information about an Heroku user you need to send a GET request to

https://api.heroku.com/vendor/apps/:provider_id

where :provider_id is the id you returned when you provisioned the user.

For example, if the call

POST /heroku/resources

returns

json { "id": 456, "message": "your message here" }

then you can get user details by calling

GET https://api.heroku.com/vendor/apps/456

The API reference contains the list of all available API parameters and calls.
