Manage Catalogs

Introduction

Catalogs are a way for you to tailor the audience for API products and Plans. You can, for example create a Partner Catalog, with a specific API product tailored to them and a preferential plan not available in your public portal.

In this section, you will learn about how catalogs work and how to create a new catalog to expose your API products and plans.

Prerequisites

• Connect to a provider Tyk Self-Managed
• Create policies with enforced access rights (API Product in the Portal)
• Create one or more policies with enforced rate limit and quotas (Plan in the Portal)
