If you are assigned the Deployer or Admin role, you can deactivate a managed API and its operations. You can view, edit, activate, or delete a deactivated managed API.
You can deactivate a managed API when the API is in the deprecated state. You can activate and use an inactive managed API.
After you deactivate a managed API, the API is no longer available in the API gateway and all calls to the API will fail. Ensure that you notify the API consumers about the impending deactivation of the managed API before deactivating the API to prevent disruptions and enable them to make necessary adjustments.
If the deactivation fails, the status of the managed API doesn't change. You can't view the operation level status of a managed API.
You can use the Show Inactive APIs toggle button to see the list of inactive or deactivated APIs.
1On the API Console page, click the Managed APIs tab.
2Click the Actions menu on the row of the managed API and select Deactivate Managed API.
The Update <managed_API_name> Lifecycle Status dialog box appears.
3On the Inactive tab, enter one or more valid email addresses.
No email communications are sent to these email addresses. You can use the Email Address field as a placeholder to add the email addresses. You can refer to the placeholder email addresses when you want to send a notification to the API consumers externally.
4Optionally, add required notes.
5Click Confirm.
The managed API status changes to Inactive.
The managed API gets deactivated and the managed API count reduces by 1.
Similarly, on the Published APIs tab, the managed API count of the respective published API reduces by 1.
