No matter where you are in the API Management, the Create button is always displayed at the bottom right and opens the creation menu.

Click Create API to add a new API.

A wizard will guide you through the creation process.

In the first step, select the organization in which the API should be created.

Since APIs can only be managed within an organization, you can also create a new API from the empty API tab of an organization details page. Simply use the link Click here to create a new API.

In that case, the organization is already set in the wizard.

In the next step, you need to enter the following mandatory settings:

  • Name: Enter a name. The name is not changeable after creation.

  • Version: Enter a version number or name.

You can enter numbers and text in field Version. Refer to The Concepts of API Management > Versioning for detailed information.

You can then enter a description. The description is optional and can also be entered or changed later on the details page.

Click Next to continue.

In the next step you can check your entries again. The summary is read-only.

  • Click Create API to finish.
  • Click Back if you want to revise your settings.
  • Click Cancel to abort the whole creation process.

After a successful creation, you will be taken to tab Settings of the API details page where you can start to configure your API.

Newly created APIs are always of type private.

For detailed information about all API details, go to API Settings.
