Hi,

I’m wondering if it is possible to publish an API described in a private collection and how to do so.

Many thanks for Your help,

Hi @thegdz.net,

May I know if you are looking for an option to convert a collection to an API or publish collection with API as a documentation?

If you are looking for the latter then the below article should be of help:
