  • 1.  Customizing API Display in API Connect Developer Portal

    Hello IBM Community,
    We are looking to customize the API display section in our IBM API Connect Developer Portal to enhance the UI/UX and showcase APIs in a more structured manner. However, we do not have an exact idea of how to customize it. We would appreciate guidance on the available customization options, theming and branding using CSS, JavaScript, or Liquid templates, and best practices for improving API display. Additionally, insights on leveraging custom widgets, content types, or Drupal modules for enhancing the portal's layout would be helpful.
    We have attached a screenshot as a reference to illustrate how we want the APIs to be customized. Any documentation, examples, or best practices to help achieve this customization would be highly valuable.

    Hello,
    I was able to modify the CSS by using official technique on IBM Documentation by downloading SubTheme, then modifying the override.css with my own styles, then uploading the new theme.
    Thank you,

    Hiya

    Just to add to what's been said in this thread already, the API rendering section is not done by native Drupal code. It's done by a reactjs application called apiconnect-explorer. It is also used in API Manager, Consumer Catalog, AppConnect, CP4i, Tivoli, etc..

    I am afraid you can't customise the output of that reactjs application, you can obviously apply custom SCSS on top though.

    If you have UX improvements you'd like us to make to the code out of the box (that would benefit everyone) then please do let me know!

    Cheers

    Chris
