Apigee 4MV4D - Programming of APIs - Series - Apigee Policy - S01E07

[anilsr]

Hello Apigeeks,

Here is the seventh 4MV4D "Apigee Policy" part of Programming of APIs series that talks about the concept of Policy in Apigee Edge Proxy.

Using policies you can manage APIs & Implement new functionality within minutes instead of hours & days. Apigee Edge Intelligent API Management Platform provides out of the box policies which allows building great APIs in a short time.

Apigee Policy is a combination of XML Elements & Attributes which provides configuration & fine grained control on the policy features. Apigee also has custom extension policies like Java Callout Policy, Javascript & Python policies using which you can write your own custom code & create a custom policy based on your requirements.

In above 4MV4D video, you will see how to use Quota Policy & Apply traffic management on your APIs. See policy code below used in above video which enforces 2 requests/minute.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Quota async="false" continueOnError="false" enabled="true" name="Quota-1">
    <DisplayName>Quota-1</DisplayName>
    <Properties/>
    <Allow count="2"/>
    <Interval ref="request.header.quota_count">1</Interval>
    <Distributed>true</Distributed>
    <Synchronous>true</Synchronous>
    <TimeUnit ref="request.header.quota_timeout">minute</TimeUnit>
</Quota>
