Create an API group on the API Groups page. After you publish a REST API, you can add the API operations to an API group. An operation of a published REST API can belong to several API groups.
1On the API Groups page, click Create API Group.
The Create API Group dialog box appears.
2In the Name field enter a group name.
The API group name can contain up to 50 characters, including any letter on the ASCII table, any digit, and the special characters _ and -.
3Optionally, enter a category for the API group.
You can create a new category or select an existing category.
4Optionally, enter a description of the group.
5Click Create.
API Center saves and publishes the API group. The published API group page opens where you can add operations to the API group and configure API policies for the group.
6On the Groups Operations tab, click Add Operations to add operations from different published APIs.
7On the Policies tab, you can associate an user-level rate limit policy, add IP filtering rules, or an API-level JSON web token (JWT) authentication to the API group.
You can configure a rate limit policy for all operations in an API group. You can configure a user-level rate limit policy for all users listed under User-Level Rate Limit area.
For more information, see API Policies.
8Click Save.
You can then create a managed API group from the API group. For more information, see Creating a managed API group.
