Create and Publish an API

1. Log in to the API Publisher.

2. Click the Add link and provide the information given in the table below.
   

   Field		Sample value
   Name		PhoneVerification
   Context		/phoneverify
   Version		1.0.0
   Visibility		Public
   Resources	URL pattern	CheckPhoneNumber
   	Request types	GET, POST, OPTIONS Tip: Selecting the OPTIONS method is mandatory if you want to allow subscribers to invoke the API using the API Console in the store. For the resources that have methods requiring authentication (i.e., Auth Type is not NONE), you set None as the Auth type of OPTIONS to support CORS (Cross Origin Resource Sharing) between the API Store and Gateway.

   

3. Click Add New Resource. After the resource is added, expand its GET method, add the following parameters to it and click Implement.
   You add these parameters as they are required to invoke the API using our integrated API Console in later tutorials.

   Parameter Name	Description	Parameter Type	Data Type	Required
   PhoneNumber	Give the phone number to be validated	Query	String	True
   LicenseKey	Give the license key as 0 for testing purpose	Query	String	True

   

4. The Implement tab opens. Provide the information given in the table below. Click the Show More Options link to see the options that are not visible by default.

   Field	Sample value
   Implementation method	Backend
   Endpoint type	HTTP endpoint
   Production endpoint	This sample service has two operations as CheckPhoneNumber and CheckPhoneNumbers. Let's use CheckPhoneNumber here. http://ws.cdyne.com/phoneverify/phoneverify.asmx To verify the URL, click the Test button next to it.
   Endpoint security scheme	Non Secured (If secured, user is asked for credentials of the backend service)

   

5. Click Manage to go to the Manage tab and provide the following information.

   Field	Sample value	Description
   Tier Availability	Select all	The API can be available at different levels of service. They allow you to limit the number of successful hits to an API during a given period of time.
   Transports	HTTP and HTTPS	The transport protocol on which the API is exposed. Both HTTP and HTTPS transports are selected by default. If you want to limit API availability to only one transport (e.g., HTTPS), un-check the other transport.

   

6. Click Save & Publish. This will publish the API that you just created in the API Store so that subscribers can use it.

You have created an API.
