## Developer Key Account Bindings API

Developer key account bindings API for binding a developer key to a context and specifying a workflow state for that relationship.

**A DeveloperKeyAccountBinding object looks like:**

```js
{
  // The Canvas ID of the binding
  "id": 1,
  // The global Canvas ID of the account in the binding
  "account_id": 10000000000001,
  // The global Canvas ID of the developer key in the binding
  "developer_key_id": 10000000000008,
  // The workflow state of the binding. Will be one of 'on', 'off', or 'allow.'
  "workflow_state": on,
  // True if the requested context owns the binding
  "account_owns_binding": true
}
```
