The API Manager binary distribution comes with a number of samples to demonstrate the API Manager's basic functionality. These samples are located in <PRODUCT_HOME>/samples folder. Inside this directory, you will find sub directories for each sample. Each sub directory contains the relevant configurations, scripts and instructions required to run the relevant sample. Each sample contains an APIPopulator script, which drives the API Manager via a REST API.
Before running the samples, ensure that the following are available:
- An HTTP client tool such as cURL (http://curl.haxx.se)
- A JavaScript compatible web browser
- An active Internet connection
Follow the instructions below to run any selected sample.
1. Download and install the API Manager according to the instructions given in the Installation Guide. Note that JDK 1.6.0_23 or higher and Apache ANT 1.7 or higher should be installed as mentioned in the Installation Prerequisites section.
2. Your need to configure various libraries before installing examples. To do this, you must run ant by typing "ant" from the <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin directory. For example, in Windows:
3. Next, start the API Manager according to the instructions given in section Running the API Manager. This will populate master data required for the server to start up.
4. Shut down the API Manager and run 'ant' inside <PRODUCT_HOME>/samples/Data directory.
Note
Shutting down the server before running ant is a must.
5. You will see an output similar to following.
