API Gateway Archive
You can import already exported archives of APIs, global policies, and other related assets and re-create them in webMethods API Gateway. Each artifact in an archive is associated with a universally unique identifier (UUID) across all webMethods API Gateway installations. When importing an archive, the UUID helps in determining whether the corresponding artifact is already available in webMethods API Gateway. In such a situation, you can specify whether to overwrite an already existing artifact during the import process.
webMethods API Gateway provides the following REST API and the resources to export and import an archive:
- GET /rest/apigateway/archive: Retrieves the archive, which is a ZIP file that contains the selected assets and its dependent assets.
- POST /rest/apigateway/archive: Imports the webMethods API Gateway archive as well as exports the assets as an archive.
