API products package AI API capabilities into standardized offerings that administrators publish to the portal for developers to browse and subscribe to.
What is an API product
An API product is a core concept in the AI Gateway open platform. It packages AI API capabilities into a standardized unit that developers can subscribe to and use.
Administrators bundle existing resources — MCP Server, Model API, or Agent API — into an API product and publish it to the portal with documentation. Developers then browse and subscribe to available products.
API product types
The open platform supports three API product types:
|
