Organizations want to use more and more APIs created by internal developers, their partners, or third-party organizations. They also want to open up their APIs to more and more application developers who work in the same organization, partner organizations, or third-party developers. The aim is to build applications that create the most value possible and that reach the most number of users.

You can build a feature-rich, highly customizable, and extendable API Marketplace using webMethods Developer Portal. We have created a number of enablement content that describes what API Marketplaces and their benefits are, and how you can build one with the webMethods Developer Portal.
