# Connect API Catalog to your services

To bring your APIs and services into the API Catalog, connect your Postman workspace to your source code.

## Connector options

You can do that in the following ways:

* [Cloud connectors](/docs/api-catalog/connect/cloud/) — Connect to your API gateway, and the API Catalog automatically shows all APIs in that gateway.
* [Code discovery](/docs/api-catalog/connect/code/) — Connect your Postman workspace to your Git repository. The API Catalog automatically shows all APIs in that repository.
* Runtime discovery — Install the [Postman Insights Agent](/docs/api-catalog/connect/insights/) and configure it for your Kubernetes deployment as a sidecar or DaemonSet. You can also set up a Kubernetes cluster custom resource as a [watcher](/docs/api-catalog/connect/watcher/). The API Catalog automatically shows all APIs in that cluster.
* Manual import — Connect existing workspaces to the API Catalog and skip discovery. Linking an existing workspace goes directly through the Git connection process. Alternatively, you can ingest services programmatically through the [Postman API](/api-docs/api-reference/).
