apigeetool vs REST API

mail-2
Participant IV

I assume apigeetool is using the REST API.

What is the "official" recommendation for automated set up scripts? Should you go with apigeetool or the REST API?

I assume the REST API is more extensive - is that correct?

My goal would be to keep the scripts homogeneous by deciding for either apigeetool or the REST API.

Looking forward to experiences as well as an official opinion.

Cheers

Apigee rest apis are included in apigee package and hosted on management server. The apigeetool is supported tool developed by community resources. You are anytime free to use the rest api calls and develope your own application as well.

I do trust more on rest apis on management.

When you say automated set up scripts, what exactly are you trying to automate?

You may want to look at these as well

For proxies, shared flows https://github.com/apigee/apigee-deploy-maven-plugin

For other configuration (kvms, target servers, caches, api products, etc) https://github.com/apigee/apigee-config-maven-plugin

There are more options than apigeetool or building directly on top of the REST API. There are client libraries that wrap the Apigee Admin API, for various languages.

JavaScript library

Apigee PHP Client Library

Java library

Powershell library.

golang library.
