API Manager Samples

The API manager comes with a certain number of samples, including APIs from Twitter, YouTube and Yahoo. Samples are located in <PRODUCT_HOME>/samples folder. Each sample comes with an APIPopulator script which drives the API Manager via a REST API.

By default, the samples installation uses the admin user to create samples.

Configuring Libraries

You need to configure various libraries before installing examples. To do this, you must run ant inside the <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin directory.

Installing the samples

To install the samples as the admin user:

1. Make sure the API manager is started

2. Execute the APIPopulator.sh script for each sample.

Starting and Stopping the API Gateway

To start the API manager product once you unzipped it, you only need to make sure you have a Java runtime at 1.6 level installed on your machine and the JAVA_HOME environment variable set. Then:

1. Open a command line window

2. Go to wso2am-1.0.0-ALPHA/bin

3. Start wso2server.bat or wso2server.sh

4. Wait until you see the message:
