New features and enhancements

The July 2024 release of API Center includes the following new features and enhancements.

Vanity domain

You can enable a vanity domain to personalize your API Center domain name and URL, and enhance your personal brand, user experience, and the accessibility of the domain. After you enable this option, the vanity domain uses the following format:
{protocol}://{domain_name}/v~/{context}/(api_version}/{operation_path}
Before enabling the vanity domain, you must possess a valid registered domain. Ensure that the domain can connect to API Center. You must also share the CA-signed certificate with Informatica. After you enable the vanity domain for your APIs, all API URLs will dynamically include the vanity domain name. However, redeployment of the APIs is not necessary after enabling the vanity domain.
Contact Informatica Global Customer Support if you want to enable a vanity domain.
For more information, see Introducing API Center.

User-level rate limit policy

When you create a managed API, you can associate a user-level rate limit policy with a managed API to control the number of times a specific API consumer can access an API and its operations within a designated timeframe. In a specific organization, you can associate an active user with only one user-level rate limit policy.
You can configure a user-level rate limit policy only after you migrate to the new API gateway.
For more information, see API Policies.

SOAP APIs

In addition to the REST APIs for the Application Integration processes, you can now see the SOAP APIs also in API Center. Use the Services tab to view a list of all the SOAP API implementations that are available in Application Integration. You can create a published API from an available SOAP API. The steps to create a managed API and activate the managed API remain the same. You can download a WSDL file of the SOAP API and share it with API consumers.
You can see the SOAP APIs on the Services tab only after you migrate to the new API gateway.
For more information, see Manage APIs.

Custom APIs

You can create, manage, and govern unique custom APIs that aren't based on Informatica service endpoints.
The name that you assign to the custom API is part of the API URL. When you create a custom API, the API URL that you specify must not be a URL that is restricted by Informatica and must not contain any potential vulnerability or malicious script. The URL must use a certificate that is signed by a well-known Certificate Authority.
The API URL that you specify must conform to the W3C standards.
For more information, see Manage APIs.

Published APIs from Application Integration

After you save and publish a process in Application Integration, you can publish the process to API Center. The API of the published process appears on the Published APIs tab in API Center. You can then create a managed API, apply policies, and monitor the API in API Center.
For more information, see Manage APIs.
