What Are the APIs and How Do the APIs Appear in the API Catalog​

APIs shown and listed are from 2 sources:

  • PortX: a number of pre-built reusable APIs are provided by PortX, and PortX regularly adds to those.
  • Your company: all APIs your company, you, and your team members have created.

APIs are created and added from 2 sources:

  • New APIs are added by PortX regularly.
  • New APIs that are added and created by your company, you, and your team members who are authorized to add new APIs.

From ANYWHERE in the PortX Platform, if you are not in the Integration Manager, click on the Integration Manager in the Left Navigation Product Menu (black color). The first symbol is the Integration Manager.

The PortX Integration Manager Main Page opens as shown in Figure 1.
