To Consume a REST Service (API Manager)
This procedure assumes you set up an API, designed an API, and then simulated calling the API. Because you provided a baseURI in the RAML definition, you can get the actual data from the service, for example JSONPlaceholder instead of the example data in your user-example.json include file. You turn off the mocking service, which provides a mock implementation of the API, and use the actual baseURI.
-
From the API Administration page, click the product version number.
-
On the API version details page, click Edit API in API Designer.
-
Turn off the mocking service in API Console.
-
Save all files in the project.
-
Configure a proxy and deploy the API to Cloudhub.
-
Issue the following call in a browser to get the actual user list:
http://placeholder.cloudhub.io/users
The actual user list from the JSONplaceholder site appears.
Alternatively, you can use Try It in API Console to get the actual user list.
