Manage Tags¶

To create a thriving marketplace environment on the API Manager platform, you can add tags to the Marketplace. These tags will help users who are developing APIs to onboard their APIs and select an appropriate tag that represents their API. Meanwhile, users who wish to consume the APIs can find APIs using tags, hence enabling easy discoverability of the APIs.

For example, if you offer banking services, you can use tags like "account management" and "payments" in the Marketplace. Then API developers can select the "account management" tag when adding their account management-related APIs. Users seeking banking APIs can easily locate them by filtering with the "account management" tag.

The flow chart explains marketplace tags.
