cURL Example

​

Example 1: Create GET Endpoint

curl -X POST \
  "https://demo.apinizer.com/apiops/projects/MyProject/apiProxies/MyAPI/endpoints/" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "/api/users",
    "description": "Get all users",
    "httpMethod": "GET",
    "backendResourceUrl": "/users",
    "backendHttpMethod": "GET"
  }'

​

Example 2: Create POST Endpoint

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "/api/users/search",
    "description": "Search users",
    "httpMethod": "POST",

    "backendHttpMethod": "GET"
  }'

Notes and Warnings

• REST Only: Endpoints can only be added to REST API proxies. SOAP endpoints are defined in the WSDL
• Unique Combination: The combination of name and httpMethod must be unique within the API proxy
• Default Active: New endpoints are created with active: true by default
• Backend URL: The backendResourceUrl can be a relative path or absolute URL
