Adding a Simple REST API to CentraSite
Perform these steps to create the simple REST API and save it to CentraSite.
To create a simple REST API
1. In the CentraSite Business UI, click the Create Asset activity.
This opens the Create Asset wizard.
2. In the Basic Information panel, enter the following information in the fields provided:
In this field... | Do the following... |
Name | Mandatory. Enter a name for the new API. For example, Phone Store API. Note: | An API name does not need to be unique. However, to reduce ambiguity, we recommend that you adopt appropriate naming conventions to ensure that API is distinctly named within an organization. |
|
Type | The REST Service asset type. |
Organization | Choose the organization in which the new API will be created. (The drop-down list will contain the list of organizations in which you are permitted to create APIs.) |
Version | Optional. Specify a version identifier for the new API. |
Description | Optional. Enter a description for the new API. Note: | This is the description information that users will see when they view instances of this type in the user interface, therefore, the description should be meaningful. |
|
3. Click Next.
Be aware that you will not be allowed to move to the next panel unless all of its required parameters have been set.
4. After you specify the value for all of the required fields, click Save 
to save and add the new REST API to CentraSite registry. The newly created API's details page is displayed. Here you can enter the values of various attributes of the new API.
5. Configure the API's extended attributes.
