What is a Developer Portal?
A Developer Portal is a website that provides documentation, resources, and tools for you to learn, use, and integrate with APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). It is a centralised platform that offers you everything you need to work with an our APIs quickly and easily, including code samples, tutorials, SDKs (Software Development Kits), API reference documentation, testing tools, and community forums. It is also a platform that provides a clear and structured way for our developer community to collaborate, gather feedback, and manage the API lifecycle.
