Parent API products
You might be interested to know the API products that are associated to a currently selected API version for the following reasons:
To discover further APIs that are associated to the same parent API product.
To subscribe to the parent API product.
For a few APIs not requiring subscriptions, parent API products are neither displayed on the API details nor on the API products page due to current Microsoft restrictions. APIs not requiring subscriptions are still discoverable through the API gallery and through the Quicklinks: All APIs on the API details page.
From the API details page, you can discover the parent API product either through the Quicklinks: Parent API Products dropdown menu on the upper right or through the List of parent API products reference at the end of the page.
