Introduction This blog provides steps to configure SSL certificate in Oracle API Gateway node's trust store. It becomes necessary when API gateway in installed in "production" mode. Without SSL certificate you won't able to deploy an API to gateway node, because in production mode gateway must communicate with APIP management tier over SSL. Another use-case is when backend service is SSL enabled. We will discuss both the scenarios in this blog. 1. Configure certificate in...

Purpose The purpose of this post is to demonstrate through a practical example how a Developer might enrich an API payload using a Service Callout from within a Groovy Policy. Background Since the release of Oracle API Platform v17.2.5, there has been a standard Policy entitled Service Callout 2.0 (version 1.0 having been deprecated at that release). That Policy facilitates the asynchronous invocation of an arbitrary endpoint on what is effectively a fire-and-forget basis....

Once you have provisioned an Oracle API Platform CS instance, one of the first things you will notice is the access to the various consoles are done via Public IP addresses: Another issue you will come across is that the certificate used for the instance is "Not Secure", and therefore HTTPS is disabled due to an invalid certificate: The focus of this blog is to walk through the details of how to customize your APIPCS environment for your business, which includes defining a...

There are many tools in the market to design, develop, and test API's. Some of these tools could be used separately. Some others could be combined. Every time a change is introduced in the design or implementation of an API, it would be nice to have tests and builds run automatically. Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development practice that allows builds and tests to be triggered every time new code is pushed to the repository. There are may tools that could be...

This blog provides steps to get Oracle API Gateway up and running on Oracle cloud- OCI Classic VM We will see following steps: 1. Create compute instance on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Classic (OCI-classic) 2. Create Logical gateway in API management console and Assign grants to add nodes 3. Connect OCI-classic instance using SSH and copy setup files 4. Configure user, Entropy value on Linux OS 5. API Physical Gateway setup (gateway node setup) 6. Security rules changes in...

Introduction Establishing secure connections between API boundaries is something that most companies (if not all) will be concerned about during the implementation of API-based projects. This is important whether if you are exposing APIs for consumption or if you are invoking existing APIs. In order to establish secure connections, SSL certificates are the most well known practice used to ensure data confidentiality. However; importing SSL certificates into the API Gateway...

Introduction This blog provides a utility for bulk creation & deployment of APIs in Oracle API Platform cloud service. It is useful to the first time users who have significant number of back-end services that needs to be published as simple API. Instead of creating individual API from API Portal this utility reads a template (CSV file) and creates defined APIs in portal. Sometime it helps to have a template where all planned APIs are listed. this helps for internal...

Author: Ricardo Ferreira Introduction With the explosion of APIs, most of the today’s computing challenges are being driven by it and therefore, new standards had to emerge to make sure that APIs can be used securely, while allowing developers to avoid having to reinvent the wheel every time they implement aspects such as authorization. One good example is JWT (JSON Web Token) which allows API developers to implement authorization - but without requiring that the user...

Introduction This blog introduces a few useful Python scripts written to repeatedly perform common administrative tasks and development operations on an API Platform Cloud Service instance. The scripts are written in Python and can be executed on all Python 3.6+ supported platforms Why These scripts are written keeping in mind a few real life use cases, such as - Migration of API Platform artifacts between different API server environments Export of API Platform artifacts for...
