Creating a managed API group

Create a managed API group from an API group. To create a managed API, you must be assigned the Deployer or Admin role.
When you create a managed API group, API Center generates API endpoint URLs after activating the managed API group. You can share API endpoint URLs with API consumers to access the APIs and operations in the group.
    1On the API Groups page, select the API Groups tab.
    The API Groups tab shows all the published API groups according to the last modified date of the published API group. You can filter the API groups based on the group name.
    2Click the Actions menu on the row of the selected published API group and select Create Managed API Group.
    Alternatively, you can create a managed API group from any specific API group page.
    The Create Managed API Group dialog box appears.
    3In the Managed API Group Name field enter a name for the managed API group.
    The managed API group name can contain up to 80 characters, including ASCII letters, digits, Japanese characters, n-dash, and the following special characters: $ ( )[ ] . ? `- _
    The Name field gets updated based on the changes you make to Managed API Group Name. The version information is appended to the Name field by default. You can't edit the Name field.
    4Optionally, enter a category and a description.
    5In the URL Context field, enter the context that API Center adds to the API group URL.
    The URL context can contain up to 80 characters, including ASCII letters, Japanese characters, digits, hyphens, and underscores.
    The URL context must be unique across an organization. You can't use the same URL context for managed APIs and managed API groups.
    6Click Next and verify the summary details.
    7Click Create.
    API Center saves and publishes the managed API group. The managed API group page opens where you can view the groups operations of the managed API group and configure API policies for the managed API group.
    8On the Policies tab, you can associate a user-level rate limit policy, add IP filtering rules, add an API-level JSON web token (JWT) authentication or an OAuth 2.0 authentication, and CORS policies to the managed API group.
    You can configure a rate limit policy for all operations in a managed API group. You can configure a user-level rate limit policy for all users listed under User-Level Rate Limit area.
