Managed APIs are APIs with unified authentication methods that you can monitor access to with usage policies. Using managed APIs ensures that API consumers can safely and securely use and re-use the organization APIs with set policies, access control, and well-defined endpoints.
Use the Managed APIs tab on API Console page to edit, view, activate, share, deprecate, deactivate, and delete the managed APIs in the organization. To create a managed API, you select a published API and create a managed API from it.
After you create and activate a managed API, API Center generates API endpoint URLs for the API operations, which you can share with API consumers to access the operations. You can copy the endpoint URL from the specific managed API page or from the Actions menu of the managed API on the Managed API tab of the API Console page. You can also copy the original URL that you provided while creating the asset.
When you create a managed API for enterprise services and processes, you can copy the API URL and send it to API consumers. You can also download the API specification for a managed API and send it to API consumers.
You can choose the domain name when you log in to API Center the first time, and then provision the domain.
Use the API Monitor page to monitor the APIs in the organization and to download API activity logs.
