Discover APIs in the API Catalog
In this article
Overview
The API Catalog offers Developer Portal users access to the SnapLogic APIs developed in your Org without needing SnapLogic credentials. Developer Portal users can explore APIs and, depending on policies and publication settings, try them. A subscription service allows users to create accounts. Developer Portal users can subscribe to APIs by creating Applications.
Audience
The article is intended for users of a SnapLogic Org Developer Portal and the API developers who publish their APIs and manage them through the Org. Org admins are a secondary audience.

Category Selection
You can logically group, filter the selection, and classify APIs by category to more easily navigate the APIs. This increases the productivity targeting a specific service.
Select a filter and category to classify a service in Developer Portal > Catalog Tab.
To easily navigate specific APIs, this feature now only allows selection of a single category with multiple filters.
You can now do Category selection with the option buttons.
After you select the filter and category, you can view the selection with the number of APIs in the selection as a header:
Now after browsing the API Documentation, the previously selected filter and category does not clear out. You can still search for the APIs in the same selection.
The category selection is cleared out automatically if you either log out of the portal or the session times out.
You can bookmark the selection of filter and category in your browser and it remains intact after you are logged off. However, as per the roles and permission you can still view the APIs.
