A New Way for API Developers to Manage API Subscriptions on FabriXAPI Portals

In an exciting development, OpenAPIHub Portals have undergone a rebranding and are now known as FabriXAPI Portals. The FabriXAPI-powered API portal now functions as an independent API store instead of being part of a larger API shopping mall. This rebranding has implications for API developers in terms of managing their API subscriptions. In this article, we will explore the key aspects of this rebranding and its implications for API developers to manage API subscriptions.

A Shift to Individual API Stores

The transition to FabriXAPI Portals introduces separate entities for each API portal, offering API developers a more streamlined experience in managing their subscriptions. Unlike OpenAPIHub, where API subscriptions from different API Portals are managed within the same admin portal, FabriXAPI requires API developers to access a specific API Portal first, and then log into the corresponding Developer Admin Portal to manage subscriptions for that particular API Portal. This ensures a more focused and efficient approach to managing API subscriptions within each individual portal.

Please note that during the phased transition of API Portals from OpenAPIHub to FabriXAPI, you might notice that the API Portal URL begins with a different domain. To distinguish between an OpenAPIHub Portal and a migrated FabriXAPI portal, consider the following indicators:

1. OpenAPIHub Portal
   • Portal URL starts with domain "https://hub.openapihub.com/"
     • e.g. https://hub.openapihub.com/en-us/v/dev-geeks-7gz88/home
2. Migrated FabriXAPI Portal
   • Portal URL starts with domain "https://portal.fabrixapi.com/"
     • e.g. https://portal.fabrixapi.com/openapihub-academy-1zhxa/home

Rest assured, you can conveniently log in to both OpenAPIHub and FabriXAPI-powered API Portals using your existing OpenAPIHub credentials.

How to Find My API Subscriptions?

1. 1. For Legacy OpenAPIHub Developers
2. 2. For Developers who have Registered Through an API Portal

1. For Legacy OpenAPIHub Developers

1. For developers who were using OpenAPIHub, you can still access your API subscription records through OpenAPIHub. To do so, log in at https://hub.openapihub.com/login using your existing credentials.
   • 
2. Once logged in, you can access the Developer Admin Portal by clicking on the profile icon located at the top right corner of the page.
   • 
3. You will then be redirected to the OpenAPIHub Developer Admin Portal. Click on “Subscribed APIs” in the sidebar to view your API subscriptions from different providers.
   • 

ℹ️ TIPS
If you come across an API that you are still subscribing to, but its status is marked as “Ended”, it implies that your API Provider has likely migrated the API Portal and all the subscription records to the FabriXAPI platform. In such cases, please follow the steps below to access the migrated API Portal and the latest subscription records:

1. Click on the API Name


2. Then click “View in API Portal“


3. Click “View the API Portal” to visit the migrated API Portal on FabriXAPI Platform


4. Once you are redirected to the migrated API Portal, you will notice that the URL starts with "https://portal.fabrixapi.com/". Continue to click “Developer Admin” through the user menu on the top right corner


5. Click “API Subscriptions” and select “Subscription Contract” from the sidebar, and you will find your subscribed API records there with an “Active” Contract status


🔔 Please note that from now on, any new API subscriptions made under this API Portal will only be visible within this admin portal. You will need to follow the above steps to log in and manage your API subscriptions. Currently, you are viewing the Developer Admin of a specific API Portal. In the sidebar, you will notice the logo of the API Provider, and you will find the APIs that you have subscribed to from this particular provider only.

2. For Developers who have Registered Through an API Portal

1. Go to a specific FabriXAPI Portal and click “Log in/Register” on top right corner

ℹ️ TIPS
To access the FabriXAPI Portal, you can find the URL in the subscription notification email you received after subscribing to an API. These portals have URLs that start with "https://portal.fabrixapi.com/".

2. Log in / Register with your account (if you are a legacy OpenAPIHub user, just log in with your existing OpenAPIHub credentials)


3. Then, navigate to the “Developer Admin” via the user menu on the top right corner.


4. Click “API Subscriptions” and select “Subscription Contract” from the sidebar and you will find your API subscription record there
