Difference between Integrated Portal and API Hub?

[DennisB1]

I want to understand what the difference is between the Integrated portal and API Hub? I haven't been able to find any demo videos online about the API Hub to see what the experience is. So I can only base my understanding of API hub on the "what is API Hub documentation". It seems like it offers a similar purpose as the integrated portal with the ability to register APIs outside of Apigee for discoverability.

Thanks,

Dennis

Hi! API Hub and the developer portal are suited for different purposes, you can find some differences below:

API hub

• A central place for internal teams to find, register, and manage their API information
• Covers all APIs, including unreleased, live, retired, and everything in between
• Foundation for applying the API standards you define
• Define internal ownership info and application/service dependencies
• Agnostic of the platforms used to manage the APIs
• Only accessible within your organization. No styling/theming of look and feel

Developer Portal

• A storefront for APIs that are available for internal/external app developers and partners to consume
• Developer friendly documentation
• Self service app registration and API product subscription, credential management, “Try It” functionality, code snippets
• Can be externally facing, with branded look and feel, more product marketing content, forums/blogs etc
• Ability to offer monetized API packages
