specifying proxy endpoint

[bhatikuldeep]

is there a way in apigee to handle multiple endpoint efficiently rather hard coding for each resource call with assign message policy at target end point?

Hi Kuldeep - If you're wanting to set up dynamic routing to different endpoints, check out this topic: http://apigee.com/docs/api-services/reference/api-proxy-configuration-reference

Could you please elaborate your question a little bit more. Are you asking how to define a single api proxy with different proxy endpoint or a single proxy routing to different targets endpoints based on some condition?

Divya,

Thanks for the response, I in fact meant first - "how to define a single api proxy with different proxy endpoint", but do not see any harm in knowing second one as well 😛

Kuldeep,

In order to define a single apiproxy, you need to first create an apiproxy with some basepath.

Once the apiproxy is created, you then need to add a 'New Endpoint' under the proxy endpoint section.

In the new Proxy endpoint you would need to define the Basepath of this new Proxy endpoint.

Attached is the screenshot.

To add to Floyds reference - you can use any information you have available in the request - query params, headers, uri, etc to create route rules to target servers.

We have a client that requires that different target servers be invoked based on regions around the globe. In that case they have a URI structure that includes a couple of variables that we use in RouteRules.

For example the URI path of /us/v1/profile/me/catalog/foo/123 will route traffic to a different target server than /uk/v1/profile/me/catalog/foo/123. The variables for this are resolved in an extract policy that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<ExtractVariables async="false" continueOnError="true" enabled="true" name="extractCatalogVariables">
    <DisplayName>extractCatalogVariables</DisplayName>
    <Variable name="request.uri">
    	<!-- work from most specific to least specific-->
        <Pattern>/{region}/{version}/profile/*/catalog/{catalog.type}/{catalog.id}</Pattern>

Route rules in the default proxy flow then can make decisions about where to send the target request using the region variable:

<RouteRule name="catalog-us">
        <Condition>(region == us)</Condition>
        <TargetEndpoint>catalog-us</TargetEndpoint>
</RouteRule>

thanks a lot @Divya Achan @David Allen @Floyd Jones

Hi I have similar type of question just like above. I am new to apigee, I want to place the API proxy on this platform for my API.

I wanted to take the parameter from the proxy url and change the Target endpoint path.

For Example.

http://proxy-server/{category}

to

http://target-server/categories/{category}/products.
