Software AG Webmethods API Gateway

Explore the Webmethods API gateway interface, navigate the Software AG cloud, manage users and environments, define APIs and policies, and access documentation to build your first API.

Disable the multi-factor authentication in your Software AG cloud profile by editing the OTP authentication setting; switch it off to skip one time password prompts during login for learning.

Learn to create Rest APIs in Software AG API gateway by importing from a file or URL, or building from scratch, and publish to the developer portal.

Import a Swagger rest API from a file to create a Pet Store API in the gateway, name it Pet Store and version it as v1, then test with Postman.

Create a rest API from scratch in the Webmethods API gateway, configure the backend, define a users resource with a GET operation, and test via Postman.

Create a soap api in webmethods api gateway by importing a wsdl and testing with soap ui using the calculator wsdl for add, divide, multiply, and subtract.

Explore API mocking in the API gateway to simulate back-end responses with dummy payloads for SOAP and REST APIs, enabling testing when back end is unavailable, note GraphQL isn’t supported.

Explore advanced API mocking with condition-based responses that adapt at runtime to header, body, or query parameter values. Use custom replacers to generate dynamic responses from incoming requests.

Learn how the API gateway uses applications to identify the caller at runtime, control access, and monitor SLA violations and usage for internal and external clients.

Enable tracing to debug Rest, Soap, and OData API calls by capturing requests, responses, headers, and gateway logs for end-to-end lifecycle insight, then disable when traffic is low.

Explore how api policies enforce rules in the api gateway to secure and manage APIs, including https and authentication. Learn precedence across global, api, resource, and method or operation levels.

Explore the transport stage API policies in the API gateway, including enable bulkhead, http/https, and set media type.

Explore the api gateway request processing stage, validating requests against wsdl or open api specs, transforming requests with headers and xslt, and masking sensitive payload data.

Explore routing policies in WebMethods API Gateway, including straight-through routing, load balancer routing, and conditional routing, with emphasis on using conditional routing over deprecated content-based and dynamic options.

Discover the traffic monitoring stage of API level policies, including log invocation, monitor performance, monitor SLA, throttling through traffic optimization, and service result caching in the API gateway.

Explore the response processing stage policies in the api gateway, including validate api specification, response transformation, data masking, and custom extension for cross-origin sharing, with a hands-on masking example.

Explore scope level policies in Software AG webMethods API gateway, enabling granular enforcement on REST resources or SOAP operations, with precedence rules over API level policies and practical examples.

Configure global policies in the gateway to apply to all or selected APIs (SOAP vs REST), enable HTTP/HTTPS, and manage activation for governance.

Explore how the developer portal unifies API documentation and access on the API gateway, enabling discovery, swagger downloads, and onboarding new partners.

Publish APIs from gateway to the developer portal, activate APIs first, and choose endpoints, service registry, or integration server, while documenting and testing in the API catalog.

Create API packages to group related APIs, such as sales or location APIs, and define plans with rate limits, quotas, and optional monetization for developers.

Learn how to onboard API consumers on the developer portal using admin and self-service options, including creating, updating, and deleting users and enabling sign-up and sign-in.

Explore consumer onboarding strategies for the Software AG Webmethods API Gateway developer portal, including email verification, internal approval with configurable workflows, and external approval via webhooks.

Create an application, subscribe to plans, and generate tokens to invoke APIs via the API gateway. Manage onboarding with webhooks, approvals, and access tokens including API keys, OAuth, and JWT.

Discover how to customize the developer portal in Software AG WebMethods API Gateway by creating themes, editing pages and components, and using basic, intermediate, and advanced options with properties.
