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. The API store is where the interaction between potential API consumers and API providers happen.
