4 Manage APIs

In Oracle API Platform Cloud Service - Classic, API Managers manage, secure, and publish APIs with the Management Portal.

This chapter describes the tasks API Managers can perform in the Management Portal. API Managers are people responsible for managing the API lifecycle, which includes designing, implementing, and versioning APIs. API Managers are also responsible for managing API grants and API registrations. API Managers may also be able to deploy or request deployment of their APIs to gateways.

Administrators or API Managers issued the Manage API grant for an API can perform the actions on it described in this chapter.
