API Sync

The API Sync feature of Anypoint Studio enables you to:

  • Start designing a RAML, or OAS 2.0 and 3.0 API specification in Studio and sync it with Design Center.

  • Pull a published RAML or OAS 2.0 and 3.0 API specification from Exchange or a private Maven repository, into your Mule application project in Studio to scaffold a new project.
    API sync also enables you to edit the API specification you imported from Exchange, and push your changes to Design Center.

    You can use API Sync on more than one API specification to scaffold multiple flows in different Mule configuration files.

  • Monitor the API versions that you implemented in your project and update your flows based on the latest published version.

  • Pull a RAML or OAS 2.0 and 3.0 API specification from Design Center into Studio, edit the specification offline, and pull the updates back to Design Center.

API Sync supports importing both RAML, OAS 2.0 and OAS 3.0 specifications.

API Sync comes bundled by default in Studio, and requires Mule 4.1.4 and later.

API sync might not work properly if the RAML file exceeds 4,000 lines of text.

Using API Sync, you can develop your Mule applications following API Lifecycle development practices.
