Application

Add API Subscription by API Provider

The API provider can directly subscribe to the API for the application in the management console, eliminating the approval process. It can also be used for the initial caller of preset APIs.

• The application must be created by the developer first.
• The API cannot be directly subscribed or used by specific developers.

1. Log in to the API7 Enterprise dashboard.
2. In the top navigation menu, click on Developer Portal.
3. In the left menu bar, click on Application.
4. Click on View button of the specific application.
5. Click on Add API Subscription button.
6. Select the API to be subscribed to.
7. Click on Confirm button.

Cancel API Subscription by API Provider

The API provider can cancel the subscription of an API for a specific application in the management console, and the credential of the application for that API will become invalid.

• You can only cancel API subscriptions that have been successfully generated from the developer portal. If the related consumer or plugin has been manually modified on the API7 Gateway, it cannot be reflected in the developer portal.

1. Log in to the API7 Enterprise dashboard.
2. In the top navigation menu, click on Developer Portal.
3. In the left menu bar, click on Application.
4. Click on View button of the specific application.
5. Click on Add API Subscription button.
6. Select the API to be subscribed to.
7. Click on the corresponding Unsubscribe button.

Approve API Subscription Request

Developers can submit a subscription request for a certain API on behalf of an application. API providers approve the subscription request and the application obtains an API key (if authentication is enabled for the API).

• If the API itself does not have authentication plugins enabled and does not require an API key for invocation, then approving the API subscription request does not affect the ability to call the API directly.
• Active notification to the administrator for pending approval will be added in the future.

1. Log in to the API7 Enterprise dashboard.
2. In the top navigation menu, click on Developer Portal.
3. In the left menu bar, click on Application.
4. Click on View button of the specific application.
5. Click on Add API Subscription button.
6. Select the API to be subscribed to.
7. Click on the corresponding Agree button.

Reject API Subscription Request

Developers can submit a subscription request for a certain API on behalf of an application. API providers reject the subscription request and the application is unable to call the API.

• If the API itself does not have authentication plugins enabled and does not require an API key for invocation, then rejecting the API subscription request does not affect the ability to call the API directly.
• Active notification to the API providers for pending approval will be added in the future.

1. Log in to the API7 Enterprise dashboard.
2. In the top navigation menu, click on Developer Portal.
3. In the left menu bar, click on Application.
4. Click on View button of the specific application.
5. Click on Add API Subscription button.
6. Select the API to be subscribed to.
7. Click on the corresponding Reject button.
