Is it possible to Dynamically change target endpoint?

[manjunathramali]

Is there an API exposed by Apigee which can be invoked to change the target end point? If is that I can run a script to change endpoint. Note: The request cannot have any changes to suggest change in target endpoint. ,Usecase: Dynamically change target endpoint.

You could:

a) Configure your proxy to use a target server, then update the target server definition: https://apidocs.apigee.com/docs/targetservers/1/routes/organizations/%7Borg_name%7D/environments/%7B...

b) Read the target url from KVM and set it with target.url ( https://docs.apigee.com/api-platform/reference/variables-reference#target ) then change the KVM contents with your script using the KVM API https://apidocs.apigee.com/docs/key-value-maps/1/routes/organizations/%7Borg_name%7D/keyvaluemaps/%7...

Modifing target endpoint can be done dynamically using loadbalancer variable.

You can use management api call to update the target configured in loadbalancer variable.

If you want to do inside a proxy then use target.url get updated in your script or assign message policy with your condition you want.
