Abstract
An Application Programming Interface (API) exchange located within a data center is configured to receive, from a customer, a request for access to one or more APIs corresponding to respective service provider networks and to which the API exchange provides access. Based on the request for access, the API exchange bundles the one or more APIs into an API bundle, generates a unique subscription key for accessing the API bundle, and sends the unique subscription key to the customer. The API exchange receives, from the customer, a service request for invoking a requested API of the API bundle, the service request including the unique subscription key. Upon authorizing the service request to access the API bundle based on the unique subscription key, the API exchange sends the service request to the service provider network corresponding to the requested API.
