More feedback from all of you are welcome about this approach especially
for importing/exporting API Products and the problems that may arise.
Also, apart from the four (4) functionalities that I mentioned in the first
mail, we can add the 5th functionality which is to “Delete API Products”.
So the functionalities of this feature should be updated as follows.
1.
Import API Products
2.
Export API Products
3.
List API Products
4.
Generate keys (tokens) for API Products
5.
Delete API Products
Currently, we do not support deleting APIs or Apps from API Controller, but
soon it will get implemented as well. After that was implemented, we can
use a similar kind of approach to implement deleting API Products too.
Thank you!
