are there more tutorial lectures which teach us set up more real-world API proxies?

[#1]

I am a brand new Apigee Edge user.

The page http://docs.apigee.com/tutorials/add-and-configure-your-first-api teaches us how to set up an API proxy. But after this, I still hardly understand how to use Apigee to setup more (real-world) API sources as API management. (The trivial example didn't explain how to setup policy neither.)

Does the Apigee have more tutorial lectures for setting up more API proxies and proxy policies?

I wish to practice more and build more proxies, and understand dashboard, such as monitoring analytics as shown in the demo. I am just wondering, like in the demo video, which indicates several API proxies (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaifuBpP11U) or there are sample data intrinsically in Apigee Insights, whether Apigee have some your own API sources (for users' hand-on practice), or teach us how to connect to real-world API, like, twitter, or google analytics etc....?

Thanks.

@Hsiang-Hsuan Hung: A great way to learn about API proxies is to work with the samples as described in Using the sample API proxies.

The best example I can think of of setting up a 'real-world' API proxy is the Apigee StreetCarts Example. It's "a full end-to-end sample that illustrates the power Edge as an API management and data storage solution. It provides scripts for deploying the API proxies into your own Edge organization, creates the Edge artifacts necessary for the sample to work, and populates the API BaaS data store. It also provides Postman collections for executing calls to StreetCarts."

When you're done with that, you might also be interested in checking out the API proxy configuration reference.

Thank you! I would like to set up google analytics proxy in Apigee Edge. Is the web http://docs.apigee.com/developer-services/content/activate-google-analytics a good introduction? I read over the content and still have no idea how to do it.

@Hsiang-Hsuan Hung , Above docs related to Google Analytics is for Apigee Developer Portal. Setting up google analytics API Proxy is just like any other proxy. Keep us posted if you see any specific issues while configuring API Proxy that talks to google analytics API.

Hi Anli, thank you!

Now I am following the sample instruction,

http://docs.apigee.com/api-services/samples/using-samples

and as suggested by Steve, I chose "streetcar" sample. In the tutorial web, we have to type "cd setup" and "sh deploy_all.sh"..... but the web didn't say where the "setup" folder is (at least not in the sample folder). Do we type these commands in my laptop terminal? or some interfaces in Apigee?? Thanks again!

@Hsiang-Hsuan Hung , If you are working with street cars project https://github.com/apigee/streetcarts then please follow getting started doc here.

Hi Anli,

Another question i am also wondering. What I need is actually like 4-th figure in

http://docs.apigee.com/api-services/content/what-apigee-edge

But I only need to set up using Apigee Edge to fetch data from datasource through Apigee proxy and then emit data to my backend (like data warehouse). The directions from the source -> Apigee -> backend are all only one way.

I feel the best description for what i need is the first audience "Service providers who create API Proxies and API products to expose backend services" in subsection "Developing with Apigee Edge" in the same web. Am I right?

Hi, I am setting up google analytics. When I add new proxy, I didn't see any place which I can fill Client ID and Client secret. And of course it is not successful, showing "{"fault":{"faultstring":"Invalid access token","detail":{"errorcode":"oauth.v2.InvalidAccessToken"}}}"

I should set up the key and token something somewhere, right?

@Hsiang-Hsuan Hung , Please post same as a new question for better context so that it will be helpful for others too.
