Manage API Providers
An API Provider has the privileges to enable an API Portal Administrator or Provider to manage APIs, and configure notification types that are used for API-related events. Notification configuration is required to notify the API Provider regarding any event for an associated API, like a token request. API Portal supports two types of notifications:
*Email. Email alias of a user group in UMC.
*HTTP Callback. The URL to which the notification event data is sent. The format of data is available in the API Portal Configurations page.
There are two types of API providers in API Portal:
*Default Provider. Any API that is imported and not associated with any other API provider is automatically associated with the Default Provider. When an imported API is associated with a new API provider, it gets disassociated from the Default Provider. The Default Provider has only the e-mail notification configured. By default, you will find the Default Provider in the Manage Providers page.
Only the details in the email alias group is editable.
* External Provider. Any other provider falls under this category.
Except CentraSite and API Gateway, the details of all other external providers are editable.
