When adding a new API using the API Publisher, you can define API resources. API Resources field appears at last in the Add New API window as follows:
An API is made up of one or more resources. Each resource handles a particular type of request and is analogous to a method (function) in a larger API.
API resources can accept following attributes:
| URL Pattern | |
|---|---|
| HTTP Verb | The HTTP methods which specify the desired action to be performed on the resource. These methods can be GET, POST, PUT, DELETE or OPTIONS. Multiple methods can be selected. |
| Auth Type | Facilitates resource-level authentication where different levels of authentication can be specified to each HTTP method of the resource. |
| Action | Allows to move the resource up and down the list or delete it. |
Once a request is accepted by a resource, it will be mediated through an in-sequence. Any response from the back-end is handled through the out-sequence. Fault sequences are used to mediate errors that might occur in either sequence. The default in-sequence, out-sequence and fault sequence are generated when the API is published.
