# API Products Manager

Accelerate the consumption of your APIs by publishing any API product and getting instant visibility into which API Products are generating the most traffic for your business.

[Book Demo](/contact-sales)Book Demo[Get Started](/products/kong-konnect/register)Get Started
### API Product versions

Manage multiple services by bundling one or more API product versions connected to a Gateway service.

### API Products dashboard

Compress the time to publish APIs by automatically approving applications and developers. Configure and manage API product versions and view traffic, error, and latency data all through the API Products dashboard.

### Application registration

Empower developers to seamlessly consume your APIs by registering applications for any API Product version using popular authentication methods and across a range of identity providers.

## Feature overview

Take the first step in making your APIs available to developers.

## 01/ API Versions

## Environment specialization

Link API product versions to a Gateway service in different control planes and environments. Associate an API spec with a product version and make the spec accessible in the Dev Portal.

## 02/ Analytics

## Contextual analytics

Optimize APIs and routes based on traffic volume and impact. Respond to outages faster through automatically generated reports containing critical metrics including traffic volume, error rate, and latency for the API product.

## 03/ API Operations

## Service documentation

Smoothly manage operations for your API Product via pre-built integration with platforms including PagerDuty and Data Dog. Reduce time to resolution based on timely information about an API’s core contributors and support personnel.

## 04/ Documentation

## API specifications

Attach OpenAPI (Swagger) specs in YAML or JSON format to a specific API product version.

## How it works

Provide descriptions of your API products including business context, use cases, and SLAs as part of markdown documentation, as well as specifications for each version of the API product.

### Faster time to market

API Products dashboard is a single place to manage API version lifecycle, publish API products, and enable developers to start consuming them in minutes.

### Proactive issue resolution

Be the first to identify performance issues impacting your customer's ability to consume your APIs.

### Visibility into service consumption

Get insights into your most (and least) popular APIs by tracking usage by developer and application.
