API Design Generation with Blackbird

To effectively utilize Blackbird for API management, you will need to add your APIs to your organization’s catalog. Once your APIs are cataloged, you can take advantage of several key features, including creating mock instances, generating code based on your spec, testing your code, and deployment instances.

Create a new API to store in the Blackbird Catalog

To create a new master API in the Blackbird catalog you will run the api create command.

List all APIs in the Blackbird Catalog

To get a list of available APIs that you can use for mocking, enter the list command.

Delete an API from the Blackbird Catalog

To remove an api from the Blackbird Catalog you can use the api delete command.

When deleting an API, you will be asked whether associated instances should be deleted as well. If you choose to delete the instances, the associated instances will be removed from the system. Otherwise, the instances will remain in the system, while the API will be removed from the catalog.
