Solved: Spec editor missing in Apigee X UI

Hi friends,

Any help is appreciated. When i login to Apigee X management UI, I don't see Spec editor under 'Develop' section. The previous versions of Apigee Edge management UI had this feature under 'Develop' section, but i could not find Spec editor in Apigee X. Am i missing anything or is Spec editor feature missing in Apigee X.

Thanks

Ratna.

The Spec editor included in Apigee Edge is not available in Apigee X. However, you can still create API proxies from an OpenAPI spec using the proxy wizard, or via apigeecli (command-line). Additionally, you can still upload specs for use by API Portals. Nothing changed in those regards.

If you're looking for lifecycle and specification management of your APIs, I suggest you take a look at the new feature called Apigee API Hub. It supports many varieties of API styles (REST, GraphQL, gRPC, etc) and all of their applicable contracts (OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, schemas, etc). For more information, please see the community article at https://www.googlecloudcommunity.com/gc/Apigee/Apigee-API-hub-is-now-available-in-public-preview/m-p...

Are you referring to develop API proxies with Spec documents? or you referring to viewing the specs from with a developer portal?? Previous version dont have Spec editor too in management console.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply. Yes i am looking for place to upload/store all my OAPI spec yamls in 1 place on Apigee. I am aware of creating reverse proxy using a spec. But i need 1 common place on Apigee where i can go and see all my OAPI spec yamls and if needed edit them as well. In previous versions of Apigee, there used to be a 'Spec' tab under 'Develop' section in the side navigation bar. Please see this link from old apigee docs that talk about this feature. This Spec feature is missing in Apigee X UI. Spec editor is described at this old apigee location: https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/publish/specs/manage-specs#create-spec

Thanks a lot. This clears my confusion. Will definitely look @ API Hub.
