API Creation and Publication
Introducing the API Creation and Publication functionality of JoinAPI Manager, an innovative solution offered in the Software as a Service (SaaS) model. This core feature of the platform enables developers and administrators to quickly launch new APIs for consumption by external applications or systems. Here’s an overview of the process:
Through the JoinAPI Manager Developer Portal, users have access to an intuitive interface to manage, document, and make APIs available for consumption.
The first step is to register basic API information, such as name, description, version, and endpoint URL.
Developers specify the API endpoint, where requests will be sent and responses received.
Define which resources the API will provide and which HTTP methods will be supported for interaction.
For each API method, input parameters and request and response payload formats are defined.
JoinAPI Manager offers various security options, such as basic authentication, OAuth, and OpenID Connect, to protect the API against unauthorized access.
Policies are configured to control the number of requests consumers can make to the API within a certain period.
he API is automatically documented in the Developer Portal, including detailed information about its usage and parameters.
After administrative review to ensure compliance with policies and standards, the API is published and ready for consumption.
The API is monitored in real-time through the JoinAPI Manager administrative dashboard, allowing identification of issues and corrective action.
API Lifecycle Management
Enhance your API development strategy with our API Lifecycle Management functionality, a key component of our SaaS platform.
With JoinAPI Manager, you have absolute control over all phases of your APIs’ lifecycle. From conception to retirement, each stage is managed efficiently and accurately.
Our solution organizes the API lifecycle into clear and accessible stages. From initial registration to review, publication, continuous monitoring, and eventual retirement, each step is carefully planned and executed.
Before publication, each API undergoes rigorous assessment by our team of experts. This ensures that each API meets the highest standards of quality, security, and compliance.
