You can make your APIs accessible to users outside of the SnapLogic ecosystem in the API Portal. The API Management > Portal Manager enables you to publish, unpublish, deprecate, and retire versions of your API when published first from API Management > API Manager. As an Org Admin, you can create a Developer Portal for your API developers to publish their APIs. The API Management > Portal Manager is the administrative console where you can manage the lifecycle of your APIs. The Developer Portal is the public-facing page that consumers use to explore those APIs.

View APIs published on the Developer Portal. The API is available as read-only with documentation included for the interested consumer.
Unpublish an API version from the portal to update any of its components. The API is removed from the Developer Portal, but can be published again in on the API’s Version Details page.
Deprecate an API version to notify users that this version of the API is obsolete. The API is marked Deprecated in the Developer Portal and Portal Manager. A deprecated API can still be updated and published again, but once it is marked deprecated, the API version status cannot change to any other but Retired.
