Apigee in Cloud console

1. In the Google Cloud console, go to theProxy development> API proxies page.

   Go to API proxies

2. Be sure that your organization name is selected from the project picker in theGoogle Cloud pane. The organization name is the same as your Google Cloud project name.
3. Click+ Create.
4. In theCreate a proxy pane, underProxy template, selectReverse proxy (Most common). A reverse proxy simply routes incoming traffic to a backend service.
5. UnderProxy details, enter the following:
   • Proxy name: Entermyproxy. The remaining steps in this section assume that this is your proxy's name.
   • Base Path: Automatically set to the value you enter forProxy name. TheBase Path is part of the URL used to make requests to your API. Apigee uses the URL to match and route incoming requests to the proper API proxy.
   • Description (Optional): Enter a description for your new API proxy, such as "Testing Apigee with a simple proxy."
   • Target (Existing API): Enterhttps://mocktarget.apigee.net. This defines the target URL that Apigee invokes on a request to the API proxy. The mocktarget service is hosted at Apigee and returns simple data. It requires no API key or access token.
   • Space (Optional): If your organization has Apigee Spaces enabled, you can associate the API proxy with a Space selected from the list of available options. For more information, seeApigee Spaces overview.
   • ClickNext.
6. UnderDeploy (optional) leave theDeployment environments field unchanged. In this example, you just create the proxy without deploying it at this stage. You can also ignore theService Account field. Leave it blank.
7. ClickCreate.

   Apigee creates the new proxy and displays a summary of the proxy details in theProxy summary pane.

   

   TheDeployments section is empty because the proxy has not yet been deployed.

8. In theRevisions section underEndpoint summary, clickView.

   The endpoints view pane displays:

   • Proxy endpoints: The basepath you set for the proxy, which in this example is/myproxy.
   • Target endpoints: The basepath you set for the target, which in this example ishttps://mocktarget.apigee.net.
9. ClickClose to return to the Proxy summary page.

   • Proxy Base Path: Automatically set to/myproxy. TheProxy Base Path is part of the URL used to make requests to your API. Apigee uses the URL to match and route incoming requests to the proper API proxy.
   • Description (Optional): Enter a description for your new API proxy, such asTesting Apigee with a simple proxy.
   • Target (Existing API): Enterhttps://mocktarget.apigee.net. This defines the target URL that Apigee invokes on a request to the API proxy. The mocktarget service is hosted at Apigee and returns simple data. It requires no API key or access token.

   Your API proxy's details should look like the following:

   

7. ClickNext.
