WSO2 APIM Applications

We have the following applications bundled with WSO2 APIM all-in-one deployment. Refer to this tutorial for the installation.

Publisher

API Publisher is the application which an API developer can use to manage the lifecycle of an API from creation to deprecation. This application is used for creating an API which acts as a proxy to your back-end API.

API state can be one from the following:

• Created

Developers can register using self-signup and start exploring the APIs. Default Application is available with which access token can be generated to access the APIs. Subscription is mandatory to access the APIs.
