API Catalog
API Catalog
An API Catalog is a governed registry for organizing and publishing API Products and their access Plans. It provides a single place to manage what APIs are available, who can access them, and under what conditions.
Each catalog contains:
- API Products — Versioned, deployable API definitions backed by AsyncAPI specifications.
- Plans — Access policies that define rate limits and security settings for consumer subscriptions.
Teams typically create one catalog per domain or business unit to keep API governance scoped and manageable.

Create a Catalog
- Navigate to
API Catalogs - Click
New Catalog - Enter the catalog details:
- Name — A unique name for the catalog. Used to identify it across the platform.
- Description — (Optional) A short summary of what APIs this catalog contains and who it is for.
- Click
Create
Once created, the catalog is available for adding API Products and configuring Plans.
