Creating a Proxy
Proxies support referencing OAS 2.0 and 3.0 API specifications. You can define the metadata for the proxy or overwrite the data from the specification. Proxies support referencing OAS 2.0 and 3.0 JSON and YAML API specifications. You can assign policies and other routing/mapping conditions to the proxy endpoints imported from the specification.
You can provide Basic Authentication authorization support for Proxy by adding Basic Authentication security schema in the API specification file.
When you upload a incorrect data Proxy specification file it displays error messages in the Create Proxy wizard and Swagger Editor of Publish Proxy wizard.
To create a proxy:
In the API Manager, go to the APIs & Proxies tab.
Click the plus icon ( ), and select New Proxy from the dropdown.
In Create proxy dialog, choose the source of the OAS 2.0 or 3.0 file.
Upload File. Click Choose File to specify the location of the specification file to upload.
Enter URL. Enter a valid URL pointing to the location of the specification file.
Create empty proxy: Do not reference a specification during proxy creation.
Click Continue.
Configure the new proxy, then click Create and exit.

Proxy Name | The name for your Proxy.
The Proxy name is appended to the Hostname. |
Proxy Description | (Optional) Information about the Proxy. |

API Proxies do not support versioning.
Because a Proxy connects to an implementation of an API, you can simply create new Proxies and endpoints to connect to new implementations.
To associate endpoints with the new Proxy at this time, click Create with Endpoints. To do so at a later time, click Create and Exit.
