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
