SDK Support for API Portal

Objective:
Enable API Portal customers to upload SDKs for their APIs, enhancing the developer experience by providing ready-to-use tools for faster API integration.

Key Features:

1. SDK Upload Functionality:

   • Allow API providers to upload SDK files (e.g., ZIP archives or specific programming language SDKs) directly to the API portal.

2. Access Controls:

   • Public Availability: SDKs can be made publicly accessible to all developers.
   • Subscription-Restricted Access: Option to restrict SDK availability to developers with an active subscription to the associated API product.

3. Integration with Existing APIs:

   • Associate uploaded SDKs with specific API product plans to ensure clarity and ease of use for developers.

4. Version Management:

   • Support for multiple SDK versions with tagging (e.g., "v1.0", "v1.1-beta") to ensure compatibility across API updates.

5. Developer Experience Enhancements:

   • Display SDK links and documentation prominently in the portal alongside API details.
   • Offer "one-click download" functionality for simplicity.

Expected Impact:

• Streamlined API onboarding for developers.
• Increased value for API providers, enabling better developer engagement and retention.
• Enhanced ability for API providers to manage and maintain SDKs.
