Congratulations! You have successfully set up an Apigee organization with Pay-as-you-go billing! There are two important tasks to complete as you begin your journey with Apigee:

• Test your runtime end to end
• Add developers and other collaborators

Test your runtime end to end

From theOverview, you can test your Apigee runtime end-to-end by deploying a sample proxy and then sending a test request to the proxy.

Deploy the sample proxy

ClickDeploy API on theTest your Apigee runtime card to deploy the sampleHello World proxy. When deployment completes, the card displays steps for sending a test request.

If you selectedexternal access inStep 4: Configure access routing:

1. Send a test request to the proxy using the following command:

   curl -H "Host:EXTERNAL_IP.nip.io" \  https://EXTERNAL_IP/helloworld

   WhereEXTERNAL_IP is the external IP address of your runtime instance. For example:

   curl -H "Host: 35.244.227.125.nip.io" \  https://35.244.227.125/helloworld

   A successful request returns the string:Hello, Guest! If your request is not successful, seeTroubleshooting.

2. Set up and test a DNS entry for your host. Create a DNS entry using either of the following methods:
   • At your registrar, create an A record pointing your environment group hostname to the IP address of your Apigee instance. For example, if your hostname issales.example.com and the IP is 10.23.0.2, then point the record forsales.example.com to the address10.23.0.2.
   • Use GoogleCloud DNS to map a URL to an IP address.
3. Once DNS setup is complete, send a test request to the proxy using the following command:

   curl https://EXTERNAL_IP/helloworld

   WhereEXTERNAL_IP is the external IP address of your runtime instance. For example:

   curl https://35.244.227.125/helloworld

   A successful request returns the string:Hello, Guest! If your request is not successful, seeTroubleshooting.

Call the proxy with internal access

If you selectedinternal access inStep 4: Configure access routing, follow the instructions inCalling an API proxy with internal-only access to test your proxy.

Add developers and other collaborators

You can use Google Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) to grant permissions to developers or other collaborators toaccess and manage your API program. For more information on using IAM to definewho haswhat access towhich resource in your Apigee implementation, see theIAM overview.

Next steps

• Take a tour of the Apigee tutorials, including:
  • Guarding against sudden traffic spikes.
  • Getting a detailed view of the request/response flow.
