What is Anypoint platform?

Anypoint platform is a one Stop platform for APIs and integrations.

• Design Center – Design and Develop API’s
• Anypoint Exchange – Place where we will be able to share, discover api’s and reusable assets
• API Manager – Helps in Managing APIs by invoking policies
• Runtime Manager – Where Applications are deployed
• Access Management – Configures Access and permissions within organization
• Anypoint Monitoring/Visualizer -Provides Monitoring and real-time graphical representation of APIs
• Secret Manager – Place to store and control access to private keys, passwords, certificates, etc.

What is API Specification & Design Center?

An API specification provides an understanding of how an API behaves. Like all below

• What kind of Request it accepts?
• What kind of Response it returns?
• What are the mandatory fields/Data Types/Security etc..

Design Center in MuleSoft

API Designer helps us to create API Specification in RESTful API Modeling Language (RAML). It supports RAML 0.8 and 1 versions. It also supports OAS 2.0 & 3.0 both YAML and JSON versions (not in our scope). After creating Specification , it can be published to API Exchange so that it is available to your organization.

• Resource: It is the unique name we give to identify a resource
• Method: GET , POST , PUT , DELETE , PUT , PATCH etc
• Request : like Body , queryparams, uriparams, headers.
• Response: like response Body and response type
• Http Status: 200,201,400,404,500 etc ..

No two resources can have same name & method!
