Simple Example to Change Target URL for Conditional Proxy Endpoint

[#1]

Hi, could someone provide me with a simple example of how to setup a Proxy Endpoint with a Conditional Flow and then change the URL.

What I want is to call a specific URL and not add the Conditional Flow criteria to the called URL.

Conditional targets may be simpler than using a conditional flow to change the target. Check out the example listed on the page describing how routing works: http://docs.apigee.com/api-services/content/understanding-routes#determiningtheurlofthetargetendpoin...

Thanks for the response Carlos, however I still cannot seem to get this working because it still amends the resource-path to the target URL.

i.e. http://myapi.apigee.net/base-api/service1 targets incorrectly to http://mycompany.com/api/anotherservice/service1

Here is the relevant section from the XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

<ProxyEndpoint name="default">

<RouteRule name="service1">

<Condition>(proxy.pathsuffix MatchesPath "/service1") and (request.verb = "GET")</Condition>

<URL>http://mycompany.com/api/anotherservice</URL>

</RouteRule>

What I need is the following

http://myapi.apigee.net/base-api/service1

http://mycompany.com/api/anotherservice

So the target URL has no resemblance to the proxy URL

We want to completely mask the backend services into a rebranded service.

Anil's answer should cover that, however it will stop the entire path from being appended. I don't know if we have enough info to provide a complete answer. Do you have two different backends you want to appear under /base-api/service1 and /base-api/service2? If that's the case why not two proxies?

@Philip Sinclair ,

If you don't want to copy proxy path suffix & query params to target , you need to set below variables to false using Assign Message Policy or Javascript policy in target request flow.

target.copy.pathsuffix=false
target.copy.queryparams=false

You cannot use hardcoded URLs for your use case since you need to set above variables in target request flow, Create a new targetendpoint & use same in route rules. See example proxy below.

nocopytarget-rev1-2016-09-27.zip

http://anildevportal-test.apigee.net/base-api/json1 -> http://mocktarget.apigee.net/json

Proxy BasePath : /base-api

Proxy PathSuffix : /json1

Target EndPoint : http://mocktarget.apigee.net/json

As you can see in above attached proxy, Path suffix is not carried over to target endpoint.

Hope it helps.
