Planning for API Management
API-Portal functions as the key component of an effective API management solution, along with an instance of CentraSite. CentraSite uses 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 will need?
Which organizations will
API-Portal use?
Which users in the organization will be using
API-Portal to consume its published APIs?
Which taxonomies and categories are needed to organize the APIs?
