API management interface in view presents a structured and user-centric platform aimed at facilitating the comprehensive management of API subscriptions. As one navigates the interface, the central theme revolves around the ease of subscribing to and managing APIs which are categorized within API products. Each API product is a collection of individual APIs, encapsulated to offer a suite of services.

Managing API Subscriptions

Within the 'Subscriptions' section, users are greeted with a streamlined view that lays out API products along with relevant details. For instance, an API Product can be listed with its current deployment status displayed as 'Deploy Incomplete', signaling that the setup of this API product is not yet finalized.

The interface is designed to encourage user action, highlighted by the presence of buttons such as 'Unsubscribe' and 'Deploy', positioned prominently at the top of the table. This design choice underscores the interface's commitment to a seamless user experience by offering straightforward access to essential functionalities.

Moreover, the option to 'Create New Subscription' is made readily available and is accentuated by its placement and the use of contrasting color, inviting users to expand their API utilization by exploring additional API products available within the platform.
