Tutorials

Learn about some of the basic features, explained through examples, that helps you get familiarized with webMethods API Gateway.

Create your first REST API
You can view, create, and manage REST APIs, and publish the APIs to a configured destination for consumption in the webMethods API Gateway UI. The following section describes how you can create your first REST API in webMethods API Gateway.
Create your first SOAP API
You can view, create, and manage SOAP APIs, and publish the APIs to a configured destination for consumption in the webMethods API Gateway UI. The following section describes how you can create your first SOAP API in webMethods API Gateway.
Create your first GraphQL API
You can view, create, and manage GraphQL APIs, and publish the APIs to a configured destination for consumption in the webMethods API Gateway UI. The following section describes how you can create your first GrapgQL API in webMethods API Gateway.
Publish an API to Developer Portal
Monitor your API
Debug an API
Debugging an API allows faster identification and debugging of failed runtime requests.
API Mocking
webMethods API Gateway supports mocking ability for both REST and SOAP APIs. This example explains how you can use the mocking functions for a REST API. In this example, you enable mocking for a REST API PetStore, modify the mocking details, and verify the mocked response as per the configured mocked response.
Authenticate an API by using API key
Set rate limits to APIs
API rate limit is a technique that is used to limit the number of invocations that are made to an API during the specified time interval. Limiting the number of invocations prevents overloading the API and in turn improves its performance.
Log API transactions
You can enable transaction logging for API to record and view the activities of your API. This record keeps a track of when an event occurred, why it occurred and what was impacted. The audit logs provide a detailed record of various auditable events of an API such as user login and logout details and the user responsible for it. By logging the transactions of the API, you can learn more about API activities, which might be useful for troubleshooting if something goes wrong.
Request and response transformation
Configure global policies
Global policies are a set of policies that are associated globally with all APIs or the selected set of APIs.
Use routing policies
Routing policies in webMethods API Gateway determine the direction of incoming requests to different backend resources or endpoints based on specified conditions. Use these policies to control the flow of traffic within webMethods API Gateway to implement various routing strategies, such as load balancing, versioning, A/B testing, and canary deployments.
