Overview

The API Management > Portal Manager is the administrative console where Org admins can manage the lifecycle of APIs. Org admins can use the Portal Manager to create a Developer Portal for API developers to publish their APIs. The Developer Portal is the public-facing page where users can explore your APIs.

The Portal Manager has two tabs:

  • APIs

  • Settings

An API appears in the Portal Manager when you publish a version of that API or a Proxy for the first time. You can publish, unpublish, republish, deprecate, and retire versions of an API or a Proxy directly from the Portal Manager. The Portal Manager enables you to search and filter for APIs that were published on your Developer Portal, regardless of their status.
