Creating an API Group

Integration application: An API group belongs to a specific integration application. Only users who have permissions for this application can view and perform operations on the API group.
All: All users in the current instance can view and perform operations on the API group.

An API group is a set of APIs the same type of services use. An API developer creates an API group to manage all APIs in the group. Each API belongs to an API group. Before creating an API, create an API group.

Constraints

The system allocates a subdomain name to the API group for internal testing. The subdomain name can be accessed up to 1000 times a day. To give your users access to your APIs, bind independent domain names to their API group.

Prerequisites

Each API group must belong to an integration application. Before creating an API group, ensure that an integration application is available, or create one.
