# Bring APIs into API Catalog

You can bring APIs into your API catalog from several sources.

Sources integrate with API Catalog in different ways based on their relationship with Salesforce and the features the API sources provide.

API Catalog automatically brings in APIs from these sources.

- Connect REST APIs appear in API Catalog on a rolling basis as they become available in Salesforce.
- External services appear in API Catalog as you register them by using the External Services page. To register an API from an external source not yet supported in API Catalog, see [Register an External Service](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.external_services_register.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

You can bring in APIs from these other supported sources.

- **[Bring MuleSoft APIs into API Catalog](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.api_catalog_bring_mulesoft_apis_into.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Connect your Anypoint Platform and Salesforce orgs, and enable the API Catalog capability. You can then sync MuleSoft APIs into your API catalog. API Catalog makes it easy to create secure connections for your MuleSoft APIs. You can stay up to date on new API versions as they sync into the catalog, and request API access when you need it.
- **[Bring Apex APIs into API Catalog](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.api_catalog_bring_apex_apis_into.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Bring Apex REST and AuraEnabled APIs into API Catalog to take advantage of the automatic agent action activation and make your APIs more discoverable.
- **[Bring Named Query APIs into API Catalog](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.api_catalog_bring_named_query_apis_into.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Named Query APIs are automatically shown in API Catalog when you create them in Salesforce. This makes them more discoverable by others and makes it easy for admins to activate agent actions for these APIs.
- **[Bring Heroku APIs into API Catalog](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.api_catalog_bring_heroku_apis_into.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Publishing your Heroku APIs into Salesforce automatically adds them to your org’s API catalog. Heroku APIs shown in your catalog are available as a Heroku action type that you can use to create a custom agent action.
