  title: Apigee API Hub Register External API
  summary: Register an external API reference, define a custom attribute, then list external APIs.
  description: >-
    The API Hub flow for tracking third-party APIs alongside internal ones. The
    workflow registers an external API reference, defines a user-defined custom
    attribute scoped to APIs for richer cataloging, and lists external APIs to
    confirm the new reference is present. Every step spells out its request
    inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the underlying
    OpenAPI description.
