External Production/Sandbox endpoints of the APIs will be added as the endpoints for the API product. Endpoint security is not added for third-party API resources. !!! note - Subscriptions are available by default for third-party APIs. However, since the third-party APIs are not deployed in the API Gateway, the tokens generated from API Manager applications will not be valid.
