 Third Party Application
-=============
+=======================
 
 The Third Party Application microservice is responsible for maintaining the state of applications created
 by (or on behalf of) third parties to consume APIs registered on the API Platform.
 
-# Tests
+Application Search
+------------------
+Searching of Applications within the microservice is acheived by issuing a `GET` to the `/applications` endpoint, making use of the following Query Parameters:
+
+Parameter Name    | Data Type/Allowed Values                                                          | Description

+`status`          | `CREATED`, `PENDING_GATEKEEPER_CHECK`, `PENDING_SUBMITTER_VERIFICATION`, `ACTIVE` | Retrieve Applications based on lifecycle status

+`apiSubscription` | `ANY`, `NONE`, or specific API name                                               | Which API the Application is subscribed to
+`apiVersion`      | Version Number                                                                    | Version of the specific API that Application is subscribed to. Only relevant when the name of an API has been specified for `apiSubscription`
+`page`            | Number (Defaults to `1` if not specified)                                         | The page number to display (based on `pageSize`)

+Tests
+-----
 Some tests require `MongoDB` to run.
 Thus, remember to start up MongoDB if you want to run the tests locally.
 The tests include unit tests and integration tests.
