What is the diffrance between API Manager and Intergration Server?

I am new to WS02. So I just want to understand what the difference is between API Manager and Integration Server.

I did not know about this software and it looks awesome. What I want is to orchestrate automation across systems using an ESB but also have a store to manage the API's. Do I install both or just the API Manager ?

To actually 'orchestrate automation' you will need the Enterprise Integrator. Enterprise integrator is also a product that you generally don't want to expose to the outside world ie. the big bad internet.

The API Manager serves exactly that purpose. It is a gateway you can use to expose resources while managing access, availability, throttling etc. However, it is not meant to build actual integrations/orchestration etc.

In your case it sounds like you would need both.
