Working with APIs

For a specific Product, you can work with the APIs that are contained in the Plans in that Product.

Note: In the Help page of the API Manager, and API Designer user interfaces, there's a Product information tile that you can click to find out information about your product versions, as well as Git information about the package versions being used. Note that the API Designer product information is based on its associated management server, but the Git information is based on where it was downloaded from.
