API managers are often used to expose REST APIs to an internal or external group of developers. An internal group of enterprise developers might use a catalog of API services as a starting point for software development projects. An external group of partners might use the APIs for integration with their backend systems. In some cases, partners might use the APIs to purchase goods, services, or information.
