Search APIs

The API listing page is where you browse everything published to the API Portal & MCP Hub and narrow it down to the API you need.

Browse the API listing

Click APIs in the sidebar. The listing page shows a card for every published API, above a count of how many are listed.

The listing shows one card per API, with the search bar above it:

API listing page with a search bar and four API cards, each showing type badges, tags, plan count, and a Subscribe button

Each card shows:

  • The API's icon (or its initials), name, and version
  • A Type badge: REST, GraphQL, WebSocket, WebSub, or SOAP
  • An AI Ready badge when the API is visible to AI agents, and a Deprecated badge when the API has been deprecated
  • The description, and any tags the publisher added
  • The number of subscription plans and a Subscribe button, when the API has plans
  • A Subscribed ribbon, when you already hold a subscription to the API

Click a card to open the API's overview page.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are listed separately. Click MCP Servers in the sidebar to browse them the same way.

Note

A listing covers one view, and an API appears in it only if one of the API's labels is mapped to that view. If an API you expect is missing, ask your portal admin to check its labels.

Search for an API

  1. Type a term into the search bar at the top of the listing page.
  2. Press Enter.

The page reloads with your term applied as a query parameter, and the results bar reports how many APIs matched. To return to the full listing, clear the search bar and press Enter again.

What a search term matches

A search takes one free-text term rather than a set of separate fields. Which fields it compares that term against depends on the database the portal runs on—see the per-database differences below.

Matched against Example
Name Navigation finds the Navigation API
Version v3.5 finds every API published at that version
Description catalog finds any API described as a catalog
Type RestApi finds the REST APIs
Tags finance finds every API tagged finance
Attached documents and the API specification webhook finds an API whose getting-started guide mentions webhooks

Two details depend on which database backs your deployment:

  • PostgreSQL searches attached documents and the API specification alongside the metadata, and matches whole words and their grammatical variants through English full-text search.
  • SQLite (the default) and SQL Server search the metadata and tags only, and match substrings, so Naviga finds the Navigation API.
  • API Overview: open an API's card to see its endpoints, resources, and subscription plans
  • API Documentation: full endpoint, schema, and security details
  • Manage Views: how admins decide which APIs a view lists
