Private APIs are only accessible for known consumers, called clients. Each client can consume multiple APIs within API Management. The relation between client and API is defined via a contract and a plan. Every client has an individual key to access the API.

Since everything in the API Management data model exists in the context of an organization, an organization is automatically created for users who only have access to the API Developer Portal. Refer to Developer Portal for detailed explanations of the restrictions of Developer Portal users.


If you want to consume a private API, you must first register for it.
To do so, click Learn more to open the API's details page.

Users must have a valid PAS account to consume private APIs. If you are not logged in before you click Sign up, you will be redirected to the PAS login page.
