This course is designed for API developers.

Configure services in Cloud Manager for an on-premises installation of API Connect
Create a catalog and Developer Portal
Create consumer and provider organizations
Create, test, and publish SOAP, REST, and GraphQL APIs
Create message processing policies that transform API requests and responses
Authorize client API requests with security definitions
Enforce an OAuth flow with an OAuth 2.0 API security provider
Perform advanced testing of APIs by using the Test tab and the Local Test Environment
Define products and plans in API Manager
Stage, publish, version, migrate, deprecate, and retire products and APIs
Manage member roles and permissions in the Developer Portal
Create an application and subscribe to a plan
Review API analytics in the Developer Portal
Review analytics dashboards and visualizations in API Manager
Customize the Developer Portal

This course teaches you how to configure a newly built API Connect 10 environment. You are taught how to configure a catalog with the gateway, portal, and analytics services and set up the environment for API development. You then define API interfaces according to the OpenAPI specification. You build SOAP and REST based APIs along with a GraphQL API. You assemble message processing policies and define client authorization schemes, such as OAuth 2.0, in the API definition. You verify the proper sequencing of policies in the assembly tester and further test your APIs in the new Test tab and Local Test Environment. After building and testing your APIs, you publish them and make them available on the Developer Portal. You manage all aspects of the provider organization in the API Manager user interface to create, publish, version, and retire API artifacts such as products, plans and APIs themselves. You also learn how to manage consumer organizations who use the APIs that are made available on the Developer Portal. You learn how to add members to the consumer organization that provides access to the APIs on the Developer Portal. You learn how the layout of the Developer Portal can be customized. Finally, you call the APIs on the secure gateway and you view the graphs and metrics of API usage.
