Field
Description
Select file
Click Browse to browse to the location of file to be imported and select the required file or ZIP format file.
The REST API can be updated using only the Swagger or RAML file type. The SOAP API can be updated using only the WSDL file type.

If you have selected a file in ZIP format, type the relative path of the main file within the ZIP file.
Name
Name for the API. Edit or delete the name of the existing API displayed.
*If you provide an API name, this overwrites the API name mentioned in the uploaded file and the API is updated with the name provided.
*If you do not provide an API name, the API name mentioned in the uploaded file is picked up and the API is updated with that name.
Type
Select the required type. The available types are RAML, Swagger, and WSDL.
*For a REST API, the available options are RAML and Swagger.
*For a SOAP API, the available option is WSDL.
Version
Version number of the API. The existing version number of the API is automatically displayed. You can edit or delete the version number. If the version number is deleted and the imported file does not have a version number, then the system automatically assigns a version number during the update.
This overwrites the version of the API.
