Workflow: Creating, Testing, and Implementing an API
This workflow uses the free online REST service JSONPlaceholder at http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com for example purposes. The JSONPlaceholder service provides user information in JSON format. You design a RAML API specification and create an APIkit project in Studio based on the RAML. You simulate calls to the API, and add logic to implement the project as a Mule app. Resources are /users and /userbyid. The /users resource gets all user information. The /userbyid resource gets a particular user’s information.
-
Design a RAML API specification in Design Center.
Alternatively, you can use a text editor instead of Design Center to create the RAML specification and dependent JSON example file:
-
Create a JSON example to include in the RAML specification.
-
Start an APIkit project by importing the API specification.
-
Add business logic to the API:
-
Implement the endpoint to the JsonPlaceholder service.
