How to create an API group

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to create an API group. By using groups, it’s easier to apply subscriptions to the APIs and attach different security and usage monitoring policies. To learn more about groups, visit API Groups.

Before you proceed with the following steps, ensure you’re a user with the role of platform-admin or api-product-manager.

Steps to create an API group

To create an API group, you need to:

  • Access Manage APIs → select API Groups.

Accessing API Groups

  • Click :material-plus: Create API Group.

Create API Group Button

  • In the Create API Group window:
    • Enter a unique name in Group Name.
    • Enter a summary in Description (max 500 characters).
    • Set Subscription Status to Enabled or Disabled to control whether the group is available for subscription.
    • Set Group Priority to High priority enabled or High priority disabled. Priority decides which group’s policies apply when an API is in multiple groups.
