Getting Started with API Management
CentraSite supports the API management concept for the three base asset types, namely:
Service
REST Service
XML Service
and, their virtual types:
Virtual Service
Virtual REST Service
Virtual XML Service
Instructions throughout the remainder of this document use the term API when referring to asset instances of these base types, and Virtual API when referring to asset instances of these virtual types in general.
Related sections of the CentraSite documentation provide the information you need for creating and managing your API.
The following steps outline how to get started with CentraSite for API management, as soon as a specific API is identified that needs to be exposed in your applications.
1. Create an API asset in the
CentraSite Business UI. For procedures, see
Creating an API.
2. Browse or search for the API. For procedures, see Run-Time Governance with CentraSite.
5. Create a virtual copy of the API. For procedures, see Run-Time Governance with CentraSite.
7. Publish an API to Mediator and API-Portal for consumption. For procedures, see Run-Time Governance with CentraSite.
8. Request access to an API by registering as a consumer of that API. For procedures, see Run-Time Governance with CentraSite.
9. Fetch and use your API key or OAuth token for consumption of that API. For procedures, see Run-Time Governance with CentraSite.
