Use API Manager to manage the managed APIs and custom APIs in the organization. To manage a managed API, you select an Informatica Cloud Application Integration service and create a managed API for the service. To manage a custom API, you provide the API URL and create a custom API.

When API Manager creates the API, it activates it. You can copy the API URL and provide it to your API consumers. You can customize the URLs so that the API domain name replaces the Informatica domain name as the base URL of the API.

By default, all managed APIs can be accessed through API Portal. You can choose to disable portal access for a managed API. When you create a custom API, you can choose to make it available on API Portal. API consumers can use API Portal to access detailed information about APIs so that they can incorporate APIs into their applications. API consumers can also use API Portal to test and debug API execution. For more information about API Portal, see the

API Portal

help.

If you want to temporarily make a managed API or custom API unavailable, you can deactivate the API. Alternatively, you can hide an active managed API or custom API from API Portal without deactivating it. For example, during an API test phase, you can remove the display of the managed API from the portal until you are ready to release it to API consumers. When testing is complete, you can display the managed API in the portal again.

You can create different versions of a managed API or custom API to support multiple variations of an API. Create a new version of the API if you want to expose a variation of it without removing its existing variation. Versioning allows API consumers a grace period to adopt their applications to using the new version.

To stop running the service as a managed API or stop a custom API, you can delete the API. When you delete a managed API, the Informatica Cloud Application Integration service is not affected.

Use API Manager to generate SDK packages for rapid integration of managed APIs and custom APIs into organization applications. You can generate SDK packages that provide a set of resources to enable integration for Java, Android, Javascript, Nodejs, Python, Ruby-on-Rails, C#.NET, ASP.NET5, or C# applications.
