Create an API with Inline Java Script

1. Log in to the API Publisher.
2. Select the option to design a new API and click Start Creating.
    

3. Give the information in the table below. To add resources, click the Add button.
   

   Field		Sample value
   Name		Weather_API
   Context		/weather
   Version		1.0.0
   Resources	URL pattern	{town}
   	Request types	GET

   

4. After the resource is added, expand its GET method, add the following parameter. You use it to pass additional information to the backend. Once done, click Implement.

   Parameter Name	Description	Parameter Type	Data Type	Required
   town	Give the town name here	Query	String	True

   

5. In the Prototype sections, click the implementation method as Inline.
    

6. Expand the GET method and give the following as the script. It reads the payload that the user sends with the API request, converts it to JSON and returns the same value in the result.

   mc.setProperty('CONTENT_TYPE', 'application/json');
   var town = mc.getProperty('uri.var.town');
   mc.setPayloadJSON('{ "Town" : "'+town+'"}');

   

7. Click the Deploy as a Prototype button.

8. Go to the API Store, click the Prototyped APIs menu and note that the newly deployed API is listed there.
    

9. Click the API to open it and go to its API Console tab.
    

10. Expand the GET method, give any value for the town (say London) and invoke the API.
     

11. Note the payload you gave as a JSON output in the response.
     

You have created an API with inline script, deployed it as a prototype and invoked it through the integrated API Console.
