execute

The execute field of an assembly has the following structure:

execute:
 - Policy_1
 - Policy_2

The following table describes the possible policies and logic constructs that can be included in an execute field.

Table 1. execute properties

Property	Required	Description	Data Type
activity-log	No	Use the activity-log policy to log information that relates to the calling of API operations.	object (activity-log)		Functionality provided by the activity-log extension
client-security	No	Provides a range of options for authenticating client access to your APIs, extending the capabilities of the OpenAPI specification.	object (client-security)
gatewayscript	No	Include a GatewayScript program.	object (gatewayscript)
graphql-introspect	No	Use the graphql-introspect policy to introspect a GraphQL schema.	object (graphql-introspect)
if	No	Use the if policy to execute a section of the assembly only when a condition is fulfilled.	object (if)		Functionality provided by switch
invoke	No	Use the invoke policy to call an API. The last invoke in your policy might be replaced by a proxy automatically to improve performance. To disable this, see: API properties.	object (invoke)
json-to-xml	No	Convert payload from JSON to XML.	object (json-to-xml)
jwt-generate	No	Generate a JSON Web Token (JWT).	object (jwt-generate)
jwt-validate	No	Validate a JSON Web Token (JWT).	object (jwt-validate)
log	No	Use the log policy to customize or override the default activity logging configuration for an API.	object (log)
map	No	Use the map policy to transform variables.	object (map)
operation-switch	No	Use the operation-switch policy when you want to execute alternative policy assemblies, conditional on the operation that is being called.	object (operation-switch)
oauth	No	Use the oauth policy to policy to perform OAuth processing based on defined OAuth provider settings.	object (oauth)
parse	No	Use the parse policy to control the parsing of an input document. When the input document is a JSON string, the string is parsed instead of copied over.	object (parse)
proxy	No	Proxy a service.	object (proxy)		Functionality provided by invoke
ratelimit	No	Use the ratelimit policy to apply one or more rate or burst limits at any point in your API assembly flow. Rate and burst limits restrict the number of calls that an application can make to an API in a specified time period.	object (ratelimit)
redact	No	Use the redact policy to completely remove or to redact specified fields from the request body, the response body, and the activity logs. You might find this policy useful for removing or blocking out sensitive data (for example, credit card details) for legal, security, or other reasons.	object (redact - DataPower API Gatewayredact - DataPower Gateway (v5 compatible))
set-variable	No	Use the set-variable policy to set a runtime variable to a string value, or to add or clear a runtime variable.	object (set-variable)
switch	No	Use the switch policy to execute one of a number of sections of the assembly based on which specified condition is fulfilled.	object (switch)
throw	No	Use the throw policy to specify points at which an error should be thrown.	object (throw)
user-defined-policy	No	You can apply your own user-defined policies to your APIs.	object (User-defined policies)
user-security	No	Extract a user's credentials, authenticate those credentials, and obtain authorization from the user.	object (user-security)
validate	No	Use the Validate policy to validate the payload in an assembly flow against a JSON or an XML schema.	object (validate - DataPower API Gateway, validate - DataPower Gateway (v5 compatible))
validate-usernametoken	No	Validate a WS-Security UsernameToken.	object (validate-usernametoken)
xml-to-json	No	Convert payload from XML to JSON.	object (xml-to-json)
xslt	No	Apply an XSLT transform to the payload.	object (xslt)

The following example shows an execute field for an assembly that invokes a URL and then redacts a field from the request or response.

execute:
 - invoke:
  title: Example Invoke
  target-url: 'https://example.com/api'
  description: Example description
 - redact:
  actions:
   - action: redact
     from: 
      - request
      - response
    path: //*[@name='secondaryAddress']/*[@name='streetAddress']
