• CREATED: API metadata is saved, but it is not visible to subscribers yet, nor deployed to the API Gateway.
• PROTOTYPED : API is deployed and published in the API Store as a prototype. A prototyped API is usually a mock implementation made public in order to get feedback from users about its usability. Users cannot subscribe to a prototyped API. They can only try out its functionality.
• PUBLISHED: API is visible in API Store, and eventually published if the Propagate Changes to API Gateway option is selected at publishing time.
• DEPRECATED: API is still deployed into API Gateway (available at runtime to existing users), but not visible to subscribers. An API is automatically deprecated when a new version is published.
• RETIRED: API is unpublished from the API gateway and deleted from the store.
• BLOCKED: Access is temporarily blocked. Runtime calls are blocked and the API is not shown in the API store anymore.
