Test, production, and authorization
To test or enable the API, authorization is indispensable. Authorization means granting an app the
permission to call an API. Note that:
You can authorize the created app and access the second-level domain name to call the API.
You can authorize the apps of customers to access the independent domain name to call
your API service.
Only an authorized app can call the API.
Now you have successfully enabled your API service. From creating the API to enabling it, you can
create, modify, delete, view, test, release, remove, authorize, and revoke the authorization of an API.
You can also view the release history and switch the version.
Manage an API
API definitions refer to the definitions related to the API request structure when you create an API.
You can view, edit, delete, create, or copy an API definition on the console. Pay attention to the
following points when you are working with API definitions:
Editing the definition of a released API does not affect the definition in the production
environment unless you release and synchronize it to the production environment.
It is not allowed to directly delete the API definition. Deprecate the API definition before
deleting it.
You can copy the definition from the test/production environment to overwrite the latest
definition, and then, if needed, click Edit to modify the definition.
API release management
You can release or deprecate an API in a test or production environment with the following
attentions:
You can access the second-level domain name or independent domain name to call the API
that is released to the test or production environment.
The latest released version of an API overwrites the preceding version in the
test/production environment and takes effect in real time.
When you deprecate an API in the test/production environment, the binding policy, keys,
app, and authorization persists are automatically deprecated unless the API is released to
production again. To revoke this relationship, you must delete it.
