Your Portal Your Brand: Upgrading to FabriXAPI from OpenAPIHub Portals

OpenAPIHub Portals have recently been rebranded as FabriXAPI Portals. The FabriXAPI-powered API portal has transformed into a standalone API store, separate from the previous setup as part of a larger API shopping mall. This transition empowers API providers to establish a stronger online presence for their API Portals, enabling them to move beyond reliance on a single API marketplace platform. It’s also important to note that OpenAPIHub will continue as an API Directory, Developer Education & Community Hub, fostering a vibrant API development culture. In this article, we will cover the following topics:
