API Portal
   │
   │ User Interface
   │

API Consumers (Developers)

1. API Management

API Proxies are created and configured in API Manager

API configurations and documentation are managed in API Manager.

2. Portal Integration

API information is transferred to API Portal

API Proxies and documentation are displayed in portal.

3. Developer Access

Developers discover and use APIs through portal

Self-service registration, API key management, and testing are performed.
