Exchange as the reuse hub

The library for your API program

Exchange is Anypoint's catalog of reusable assets: API specs, spec fragments, connectors, examples, policies, and templates. Reuse starts here — if an asset is not in Exchange, it will be rebuilt.

Asset types you coach teams to publish

• API specifications (RAML / OAS) — the contracts.
• Spec fragments — shareable pieces of a spec (data types, traits, security schemes).
• Examples and templates — accelerators for new APIs.

Making reuse real

• Tag and categorize assets so they are discoverable.
• Keep rich descriptions and examples — a findable asset nobody understands is not reused.
• Treat Exchange as the first place a team looks before building anything new.

Coaching note

Reuse is a cultural outcome, not a feature toggle. Guide the customer to make "search Exchange first" a team norm, and to celebrate the second use of an asset as the real win.
