Product Overview

TIBCO® API Exchange makes it possible to build integrated online marketplaces, where service providers and consumers come together to create, host, manage, learn about, and use open APIs. It is designed to meet the security and web scale requirements of organizations moving into the API economy.

Using TIBCO API Exchange Manager, you can:

•	Manage Partners and define users for the application.

•	Log into a Developer Portal with privileges supported by your user role.

•	Create products by packaging APIs for sale.

•	Manage product subscriptions, which allow application developers to subscribe to specified products.

•	Test and analyze operation of managed applications.

•	Create subscriptions for partners, who can then subscribe to products they use to develop applications.
