Creating a Simple Alias
You must have the API Gateway's manage aliases functional privilege assigned to perform this task.
A simple alias holds simple key property values. The name of the alias can be used in the configuration of the properties of a routing policy or an email destination for the Log Invocation, Monitor Service Level Agreement, Monitor Service Performance, and Throttling Traffic Optimization policies.

The endpoint URL can be specified in the properties as ${mystage}/api.
