Create and Publish an API

API creation is the process of linking an existing backend API implementation to the API Publisher so that you can manage and monitor the API's lifecycle, documentation, security, community and subscriptions. Alternatively, you can provide the API implementation in-line in the API Publisher itself.

Click the following topics for a description of the concepts that you need to know when creating an API:

The steps below show how to create a new API.

Log in to the API Publisher.
Select the option to design a new API and click Start Creating.
Give the information in the table below and click the Add button to add the resource.
After the resource is added, expand its GET method, add the following parameters. You use them to invoke the API using our integrated API Console in later tutorials. Once done, click Implement.
Click the Managed API option.
The Implement tab opens. Give the information in the table below.
Click Manage to go to the Manage tab and give the information in the table below.
Click Save & Publish. This will publish the API that you just created in the API Store so that subscribers can use it. You can also save APIs without publishing. Publish the API later in the Lifecycle tab or select any of the available options. For more information about the states of the API see Manage the API Lifecycle.

You have created an API.
