Exporting Specifications
For a REST API, you can export specifications in Swagger and RAML formats to your local system. Similarly, for a SOAP API, you can export a specification in WSDL format to your local system. The exported WSDL is in a ZIP format consisting of the WSDL file whereas for Swagger and RAML the respective files are directly exported. API Gateway supports the following versions:
*Swagger 2.0 for a Swagger file
*RAML 0.8 for a RAML file
You can export APIs that have been created from scratch or by importing their respective definitions. The Swagger or RAML definition provides the consumer view on a REST API deployed to the API Gateway. Similarly, the WSDL definition provides the consumer view on a SOAP API. Consumer view indicates that the Swagger, RAML, or WSDL definitions contain the API Gateway endpoint and information about those resources and operations, which are exposed to customers.
Note:
In the downloaded Swagger document, the valid JSON schemas attached to a response or a request does not always appear. Only the valid JSON schemas appear correctly. For any other schema information just the generic JSON schema such as {"type":"object"} appears.
