Leveraging your REST API subscription

After receiving your API Key, you can view the REST tab to view the OpenAPI specification to test the API on the API details page.

Prerequisites

  • Your subscription request for the API is approved.
  • You have received a valid API Key.

About this task

After the API owner approves a subscription request, validate the associated API's features and begin incorporating them into your applications. To ensure proper execution of the API, include the API key in the header as part of the API call.

  1. From the Developer Portal, click API Catalog.

  2. View the available APIs or type your search filter in the Search APIs by name field to quickly navigate to your intended API.

  3. Click the API card for the API that you have a valid API Key and API authentication information to view the Overview and REST documentation for that API.

  4. Click REST tab.

  5. Click the Download OpenAPI specification button to download the OpenAPI specification json file.

    note

    The system generates an OpenAPI 3.0 reference, and 2.0 Swagger is also available at the same URL as the OpenAPI reference, but the URL ends with swagger.json instead of openapi.json.
