Hi Chamara, IMHO, this is a publishing decision - i.e. it's the responsibility of the publisher to do this (i.e option 3) . There are a couple use cases to consider here
a) A publisher needs to be able to publish the API to multiple stores. this publication is independent from the runtime publication (i.e. gateway configuration) . Moreover they need to be able to publish to additional store at any moment - Consider an API which is published in the company store to start with and then is pushed to an external catalog when this is approved. In other words, publish to store shall be a self-contained action as well. b) We need to plan for additional metadata to be captured for those external catalogs ( what they are asking for might be different than what we capture out of box). And finally security : where/when do we capture/store the credentials to connect to an external store ?
