The main elements of API Management are grouped within an Organization, which is the "container" for all other elements such as Clients, Plans and APIs. APIs represent real backend APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). API Management provides a way to turn unmanaged (raw) back-end APIs into managed APIs by attaching policies to them.

Every managed API can be published aspublic API or private API:

Public APIs...Private APIs...
  • ... reside in an organization.
  • ... can contain policy definitions.
  • ... are accessible to everyone.

  • ... reside in an organization.
  • ... can contain policy definitions.
  • ... can only consumed by a client via a contract and a plan.
  • Plans and clients can also contain policies.

  • Policies are rules or units of work applied when the API is accessed.

APIs are created within API Management. They are provided via the API Developer Portal from where consumers of the API have access to them.

 

For more information on the concepts of API Management, refer to The Concepts of API Management.
