Today we are excited to announce the availability of key new features in Layer7 API Developer Portal 4.5.2 . Our accelerated SaaS update cadence provides incremental value between major releases. This release includes several updates and fixes, as well as the launch of the next generation of our customizable developer console - the API Hub.
API Hub - NEW Customizable Developer Console
API Hub is a reference implementation of the Developer Console that lets you customize the developer experience for your API consumers. Use the standard API Hub included with the Portal to provide custom content and configure targeted look and feel changes - all directly from the UI. You can also download the source of reference implementation from GitHub and develop your own fully customized API Hub, including custom themes, navigation, and pages.
Home page of the standard API Hub
Customizations and features supported by the API Hub include:
- Markdown editor for custom home page and application content
- Localization support for API documentation
- Fully customizable themes (customized Hub only)
- Custom documentation pages (customized Hub only)
- Remote hosting of customized Hub in upcoming releases
Use a Markdown editor to create custom docs in the standard API Hub
See the API Hub documentation for information about how to work with the standard API Hub, and download the reference implementation from the public Layer7 GitHub project to start your customization project.
