You can develop your own Applications with APIs using WSO2 API Manager. This guide explains how to develop apps and how you can test your APIs.API Manager provides a structured Web interface called the WSO2 API Store to host published APIs. API consumers and partners can self-register to it on-demand to find, explore and subscribe to APIs, evaluate available resources and collaboration channels.
