Using API Portal 10.3 | API Portal Administrator's Guide | Managing API Assets | Planning for API Management
 
Planning for API Management
API Portal functions as the key component of an effective API management solution, in combination with the products, CentraSite and API Gateway. CentraSite and API Gateway use API Portal to securely publish APIs to external developers and partners and provides design-time governance capabilities to the APIs, whereas API Portal allows developers to self-register, learn about these APIs, and use the APIs in their applications.
To prepare to manage the APIs that you plan to make available in API Portal, consider the following questions:
*How many API Portal instances you might need?
*Which organizations might use API Portal?
*Which users in the organization might use API Portal to consume the published APIs?
*Which taxonomies and categories are required to organize the APIs?
