This document describes how to:
Create and configure proxy APIs in the CentraSite catalog.
Publish APIs to the webMethods Mediator.
Consume APIs using the API key or access token.
API Providers (owners of the API) and API Consumers (consumers of the API) use the CentraSite Business UI to browse and search for APIs in the CentraSite by name, description, attribute values, asset types and/or taxonomy groups. Additionally, the API providers can virtualize and publish APIs to the run-time layer; while the API consumers can invoke (call) the APIs that are exposed to them.
Instructions throughout the remainder of this document use the term "API" when referring to the three base types (Service, XML Service, REST Service), and "API Proxy" when referring to the three virtual types (Virtual Service, Virtual XML Service, and Virtual REST Service) in general.
