Method: organizations.apiproducts.create

Creates an API product in an organization. You create API products after you have proxied backend services using API proxies.

An API product is a collection of API resources combined with quota settings and metadata that you can use to deliver customized and productized API bundles to your developer community. This metadata can include:

  • Scope
  • Environments
  • API proxies
  • Extensible profile

API products enable you repackage APIs on the fly, without having to do any additional coding or configuration.

Apigee recommends that you start with a simple API product including only required elements. You then provision credentials to apps to enable them to start testing your APIs. After you have authentication and authorization working against a simple API product, you can iterate to create finer-grained API products, defining different sets of API resources for each API product.

WARNING:

  • If you don't specify an API proxy in the request body, any app associated with the product can make calls to any API in your entire organization.
  • If you don't specify an environment in the request body, the product allows access to all environments.
