Updating Status

APIs in Xapi have their own status, allowing teams to track progress throughout the API design phase. When an API is created, it initially starts with the To Do status. Authorized users can update the API status based on its progress, regardless of whether the API is internal or external.

Xapi enables marking the progress of an API by switching between the following statuses:

• To Do
• Design in Progress
• Review in Progress
• Done

• Internal APIs in Kanban-disabled projects support manual status updates.
• External APIs in Kanban-enabled projects have Kanban ticket based status updated to reflect progress, even though they are not directly managed within the platform.
• External APIs in Kanban-disabled projects allow authorized users to update their status manually.
