SAP API Management for Beginners – Part 2: Create Your First API Proxy with Northwind
Part 2 of a 5-part beginner series on SAP API Management within SAP Integration Suite.
A quick recap
In Part 1, we toured every APIM feature — API Provider, Proxy Endpoint, Target Endpoint, Resource tab, conditional flows, Policy Editor, Routing, Debug, Engage, Subscriptions, Rate Limiting, KVM, Policy Templates, and Versioning. We also looked at real XML from an exported Northwind_API_V1 proxy to see what these features look like under the hood.
Theory’s done. Let’s build the exact same proxy from scratch.
In this post, we’ll:
- Create the API Provider —
Northwind_API - Create the API Proxy —
Northwind_API_V1with versioning enabled - Walk through the 75 auto-discovered resources in the Resource tab
- Examine the auto-generated conditional flows and the
defaultRaiseFaultPolicy - Deploy and test in Postman
- Export the proxy and inspect the zip structure
- Cover what changes when you connect S/4HANA instead
