Opening an API Proxy to update

Edit option opens the update and configuration interface for that API Proxy.

The same interface can be accessed clicking the name of that API Proxy record.

Deleting an API Proxy

Clicking on the Delete option opens a confirmation window to delete the API Proxy.

Reparsing an API Proxy

An API Proxy can be created by specifying the URL or an API definition file, uploading the definition file, or selecting an API Spec prepared on Apinizer. Changes made after API Proxy is created in these resources (for example adding a new method/endpoint, deleting an existing one, changing address) are not known by API Proxy. In order for these changes to be known to API Proxy, either manually updating the API Proxy or the Reparse option can be used.

Even if the HTTP methods and method/endpoint names are the same, the method/endpoint's descriptions, parameters, example messages, soap action, etc. information is updated to be in the new definition file. However, previously set policies and API Proxy settings do not change.


When an API Proxy is reparsed, the existing name, description, and method/endpoints are compared and the changes are displayed.

If the Apply New API button is clicked, the settings on the original API Proxy are moved over the new API Proxy to be created by reparsing, and the newly created API Proxy replaces the original one.

Differences on the basis of parameters are not displayed on the screen during parsing. Differences in parameter or definition file are applied to API Proxy when Apply New API button is clicked.

Cloning an API Proxy 

It is possible to clone an API Proxy. Thus, a new API Proxy is created that has the same settings of the cloned API Proxy. Cloning is very convenient for purposes such as creating versions or opening the same API to different clients, over different addresses, and perhaps with slightly different settings. To clone an API Proxy, click the Duplicate option in the popup menu of the API Proxy record.

For the new API Proxy to be created by duplication, the user is prompted to enter a new name and a new gateway address.
