Adding APIs

When you are logged in to Swagger Catalog, you can view all the APIs you have access to – public and private, created by you and shared with you. If you are a new trial user to Swagger Catalog and have no APIs yet, the list appears empty. APIs appear here once you create them or they are shared with you. Swagger allows you to create or add API definitions in multiple ways, including manual creation Swagger Catalog , importing existing definitions, or generating APIs from prompts or source code.
