Publish APIs to your portal to make them available for consumption by app developers, as described in the following sections.
Overview of API publishing
The process of publishing APIs to your portal is a two-step process:
- Select the API product that you want to publish to your portal.
- Render API reference documentation from your OpenAPI document or GraphQL schema to enable app developers to learn about your APIs. (For more information, see About API documentation)
What is published to the portal?
When you publish an API, the following updates are made to your portal automatically:
- API reference documentation. The interface provided depends on whether you publish your API using an OpenAPI document or GraphQL schema. See:
- A link to the API reference page is added to the APIs page
The APIs page (included with the sample portal) provides a list of all APIs published to your portal, listed in alphabetical order, with links to the respective API reference documentation for more information. Optionally, you can customize the following:
- Image displayed for each API card
- Categories used for tagging APIs to enable developers to discover related APIs on the APIs page
SmartDocs (OpenAPI)
When you publish an API using an OpenAPI document, the SmartDocs API reference documentation is added to your portal.
Developers can review your SmartDocs API reference documentation and use the Try this API panel to make an API request and view the output. Try this API works with unsecured endpoints or secured endpoints using Basic, API Key, or OAuth Authentication, based on the security method defined in your OpenAPI document. For OAuth, the following flows are supported: authorization code, password, and client credentials.
Click curl
call and code samples in various formats, such as HTTP, Python,
Node.js, and more, as shown below.
GraphQL Explorer
When you publish an API using a GraphQL schema, the GraphQL Explorer is added to your portal. The GraphQL Explorer is an interactive playground for running queries against your API. The explorer is based on GraphiQL, a reference implementation of the GraphQL IDE developed by the GraphQL Foundation.
Developers can use the GraphQL Explorer to explore the schema-based interactive documentation, build and run queries, view query results, and download the schema. To secure access to your API, developers can pass authorization headers in the Request Headers pane. For more information about GraphQL, see graphql.org.
About API documentation
Each OpenAPI or GraphQL document serves as the source of truth throughout the lifecycle of an API. The same document is used at each phase in the API lifecycle, from development to publishing to monitoring. When you modify a document, you need to be cognizant of the impact the changes have on your API through other lifecycle phases, as described in What happens if I modify a document?
When you publish your API to a portal, you save a version of the OpenAPI or GraphQL document to render API reference documentation. If you modify the document, you may decide to update the API reference documentation published to the portal in order to reflect the latest changes.
About callback URLs
If your apps require a callback URL, such as when using the OAuth 2.0 authorization code grant type (often referred to as three-legged OAuth), you can require developers to specify a callback URL when they register their apps. The callback URL typically specifies the URL of an app that is designated to receive an authorization code on behalf of the client app. For more information, see Implementing the authorization code grant type.
You can configure whether or not to require a callback URL during app registration when adding an API to your portal. You can modify this setting at any time, as described in Manage the callback URL for an API.
When registering an app, developers must enter a callback URL for all APIs that require it, as described in Registering apps.
Configure your API proxy to support the Try this API panel
Before publishing your APIs using an OpenAPI document, you'll need to configure your API proxy to support making requests on the Try this API panel in the SmartDocs API reference documentation, as follows:
- Add CORS support to your API proxies to enforce client-side cross-origin
requests.
CORS is a standard mechanism that allows JavaScript XMLHttpRequest (XHR) calls executed in a web page to interact with resources from non-origin domains. CORS is a commonly implemented solution to the same-origin policy that is enforced by all browsers. - Update your API proxy configuration if you are using basic authentication or OAuth 2.0.
The following table summarizes the API proxy configuration requirements to support the Try this API panel in the SmartDocs API reference documentation based on the authentication access.
Auth access | Policy configuration requirements |
---|---|
None or API key | Add CORS support to your API proxy, follow the steps described in Adding CORS support to an API proxy. |
Basic authentication | Perform the following steps:
|
OAuth 2.0 |
|
Manage APIs
Manage your APIs as described in the following sections.
Explore APIs
Use the console or curl
command to view APIs that are in your portal.
Console
To view the API catalog:
- Select Publish > Portals and select your portal.
Click API catalog on the portal home page.
Alternatively, you can select API catalog in the portal drop-down menu in the top navigation menu.
The APIs tab in the API catalog displays a list of the APIs that have been added to your portal.As highlighted in the previous figure, the APIs tab lets you:
- View the details of the APIs available on your portal
- Add an API to your portal
- Edit an API on your portal by performing one or more of the following tasks:
- Remove an API from your portal
- Manage the categories
- Quickly identify orphaned APIs whose associated API product has been removed from Google Cloud console, and re-create the API product or delete the API from your portal
curl
To list APIs using organizations.sites.apidocs/list
:
curl -X GET "https://apigee.googleapis.com/v1/organizations/ORG_NAME/sites/SITE_ID/apidocs" \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)"
Replace the following:
-
ORG_NAME with the name of the organization. For example,
my-org
. -
SITE_ID with the name of the portal, in the form
ORG_NAME-PORTAL_NAME, where ORG_NAME is the name of the
organization and PORTAL_NAME is the portal name converted to
all lowercase and with spaces and dashes removed. For example,
my-org-myportal
.
See Pagination notes for instructions on using pagination in the response payload.

Troubleshoot issues with your published APIs
The following sections provide information to help you troubleshoot specific errors with our published APIs.
Error: Failed to fetch error returned when using Try this API
When using Try this API, if the TypeError: Failed to fetch
error is
returned, consider the following possible causes and resolutions:
For mixed content errors, the error may be caused by a known swagger-ui issue. One possible workaround is to make sure that you specify HTTPS before HTTP in the
schemes
definition in your OpenAPI document. For example:schemes: - https - http
For Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) restriction errors, ensure that CORS is supported for your API proxies. CORS is a standard mechanism that enables client-side cross-origin requests. See Configuring your API proxy to support the Try this API panel.
Error: Request header field not allowed
When using Try this API, if you receive a Request header field not allowed
error, similar to the following example, you may need to update the headers
supported in the CORS policy. For example:
field content-type is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Headers in preflight
response
In this example, you need to add the content-type
header to the
Access-Control-Allow-Headers
section in your CORS AssignMessage policy, as
described in
Attaching an Add CORS policy to a new API proxy.
Error: Access denied when calling an API proxy using OAuth 2.0
Google Cloud console's OAuthV2 policy returns a token response that contains certain
non-RFC-compliant properties. For example, the policy will return a token with
the value BearerToken
, instead of the expected RFC-compliant value Bearer
.
This invalid token_type
response can result in an Access denied
error when
using Try this API.
To correct this issue, you can create a JavaScript or AssignMessage policy to transform the policy output into a compliant format. For more information, see non-RFC-compliant behavior.
