If you are assigned the Deployer or Admin role, you can deprecate a managed API and its operations. You can deprecate a managed API if the API is in the active state or shared state.
If you plan to deactivate a managed API, deprecate the managed API first to inform the API consumers that the deprecated managed API might not be available for consumption in the future. The existing API consumers can continue using the deprecated managed API and its operations until the API is deactivated.
After you deprecate a managed API, the API endpoint URL doesn't appear on the Managed APIs tab as the API. You can't download the API specification for a deprecated API.
1On the API Console page, click the Managed APIs tab.
2Click the Actions menu on the row of the managed API and select Deprecate Managed API.
The Update <managed_API_name> Lifecycle Status dialog box appears.
3Optionally, on the Deprecated 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 Deprecated.
You can view or deactivate a deprecated managed API.
