Projects

The function of a project is to group and manage all assets related to designing, publishing, developing and analyzing a group of APIs.

That's why the project structure is one of the most important structures of Apinizer.

API Proxies categorized under one purpose and associated connections and configurations make the API lifecycle management easy.

Apinizer provides a Default project on initial setup. This Default project cannot be edited or deleted.

After the project definition is made, members are generally defined according to their roles. Click here for detailed information about member identification.
