# API platform

The API platform APIs allow users to programmatically create and manage API platform assets like endpoints, collections, clients, and access profiles.

All endpoints listed here are Embedded Vendor APIs and require the oem_vendor privilege. The API platform feature is also a feature add-on that should be enabled in the partner admin and customer workspaces. Talk to your Workato representative to enable both privileges.

For Embedded partners looking to enable API platform for their customers, use this guide for more information.
