About this task
You can push (export) your REST API to an
IBM API Management or
IBM API Connect server, which you can
then use to perform the following tasks:
- Promote and monitor the usage of the REST API.
- Secure and authenticate access requests from external users and
applications to your IBM Integration Bus application.
For information about supported versions of
IBM API Management and
IBM API Connect, see the
IBM Integration Bus system
requirements web page.
When you
push a REST API to an
IBM API Management or
IBM API Connect server, you either create
a new REST API definition or, if a REST API definition already exists
on the server, you replace the latest revision of the REST API definition
on the server with the definition of your REST API.
Note: The title
of the REST API is used to identify the REST API definition on the IBM API Management or IBM API Connect server.
The
REST API is pushed to the IBM API Connect or IBM API Management sandbox environment. You can
then stage the API so that it is visible to application developers.
