Description of service interface
Any action performed within the UI can also be performed via the underlying Management API (REST). The management API (mAPI) enables you to integrate with 3rd-party solutions and to automate the entire API lifecycle (from importing an API definition, applying policies, securing your API, and publishing it to Gravitee's API Portal). A service account can be created to authorize the API calls so that CI/CD pipeline can automate the process of managing APIs.
