# Submitting for Review

Before your product appears on the public catalog, the api.market team reviews it. This keeps listings accurate and working correctly. Once approved, your product goes live and developers can subscribe.

### ✅ The publishing checklist

All three steps must be complete before you can submit:

| Step                 | Requirement                                                   |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
| 1. Product details   | Title, subtitle, and description, categories and other fields |
| 2. Pricing plans     | At least one plan                                             |
| 3. Submit for review | Click **Send for Review**                                     |

When all three are done, the bar shows **3/3 complete** and the status changes to **In Review**.

### 🔎 Before you submit

* Your **title** clearly says what the API does.
* Your **subtitle** is filled in (under 160 characters).
* Your **description** is detailed, ideally with examples and cURLs.
* At least **one pricing plan** exists.
* **Preview Product** looks the way you want.
* **Test it well** on api playground

### 📤 How to submit

1. Open your product under **Manage APIs → API Products**.
2. Confirm the checklist shows **3/3 complete**.
3. Click **Send for Review**.

### ⏳ What happens next

The team checks your listing quality, confirms your endpoints respond correctly through the api.market proxy, and reviews your pricing and content against the marketplace guidelines. Review usually takes **1–3 business days**, and you are notified by email.
