A catalog where developers find your APIs and get access themselves
Developers who use your APIs find them in one catalog, read their documentation and request access themselves. Your platform team decides which APIs are listed and who gets access.
What developers find in the portal
What a developer needs to start using one of your APIs, in one place.
Catalog
Your APIs in one catalog. Developers search them by name or description and narrow the list by category.
Documentation
Each API in the catalog comes with its documentation, so developers can see how to call it before they ask for access.
Self-service access
Developers request access for their application from the portal and follow the request under My access.
What your platform team controls
The portal lists only what you choose, and access goes only to the people you approve.
- Which APIs are listedYou choose which of your APIs appear in the catalog. An API you don’t list stays out of the portal.
- Who gets accessAccess requests come to your platform team. You approve or decline each one.
- From the G8 consoleThe portal is managed in the same console as your gateway, by the people your roles allow.
The portal is managed in the same console as your gateway, with the same roles and audit record
Roles, Environments and the audit log are shared by every area of G8 and described on the API Gateway page.
