Pushing REST APIs to IBM API Connect by using the web user interface
Use the web user interface to create or update a definition for one or more deployed REST APIs in IBM® API Connect.
Before you begin
You must complete the following tasks:
- Register your organization and the email address for the API owner with IBM API Connect; see Administering Developer organizations in the IBM API Connect product documentation.
- Ensure that the IBM API Connect server has a sandbox environment to which you can push the REST API.
- Ensure that any firewalls allow the following connections:
- IBM Integration Bus can connect to the IBM API Connect server by using HTTPS.
- The IBM API Connect server can connect to the integration server by using HTTP or HTTPS.
- Create a REST API in the IBM Integration Toolkit; see Creating a REST API.
- Deploy the REST API to the integration server; see Packaging and deploying a REST API.
About this task

When you push the REST APIs to IBM API Connect, you either create a new REST API definition or, if the REST API definition already exists on the IBM API Connect system, you replace the latest version of the REST API definition with the new definition of your REST API.
Procedure
Follow these steps to push one or more REST APIs to IBM API Connect:
