Test APIs as described in the following sections. See alsoManage folders and files in an Apigee workspace.

Determine the URL of the API proxy endpoint

When you deploy your environment, the URL of the API proxy endpoint is displayed in theemulators section, underActive deployments.

To copy the URL for the API proxy endpoint, position your cursor over the URL and click.

The URL for your API proxy endpoint is structured as follows:

https://0:8998/shopping/cart/addItem       |_____||____________||______|          |        |           |     host+port  basepath    resource

By default, the host and port (traffic) default to0and8998, respectively.

You define the port when installing the Apigee Emulator, and the basepath and resource values whendeveloping your API proxy.

Use curl to test your APIs

To test your APIs using curl, open theTerminal tab and execute a call to your API.

For example:

curl 0:8998/helloworld

Authenticate using an API key

If your API requires API key-based authentication:

• Build and export the API product, developer, and developer app test resources, as described inBuild test resources

• ClickActive developer apps in theActive test resources section of the Apigee Emulator and copy theconsumerKey value (without the quotes) for the API product, as shown in the following figure.

  

Pass the API key in your curl call, as required by your API. For example, the following curl call passes the API key in theapikey query parameter:

curl 0:8998/helloworld?apikey=ZQA5euYtNeJ7ZCGCJMpvd6F2BZOmxOzY
