# Publishing an HTTP API Asset

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

The HTTP API enables Exchange users specify a placeholder for an endpoint. After you create the HTTP
API endpoint, you can optionally manage the endpoint with API Manager.

The HTTP API asset describes what the API endpoint does and how users can connect the API to their
programs.

In API Manager, users import the API from Exchange and can then associate proxies and manage
policies and SLAs for the API.

1.  In a Exchange, click **Publish new asset**.

2.  Enter a name for the API.

3.  Select an **HTTP API** from the **Asset types** drop-down menu and click **Publish**.

4.  In the asset view, click the pencil icon to provide a description and click the check icon.

5.  To add documentation for the API, click **Edit documentation**.

6.  Click **Publish**.
