Quick start – Creating an API

The following provides a general list of the steps you must take to create an API in the API Designer:

  1. Start the API Designer.

  2. Create API files (in which you can define an API method, for example).

  3. Create an API project or edit an existing one (for example, supplied by One Identity) to take advantage of the features already available and customize it to your own needs.

  4. Configure the authentication for the API project (Single Sign-On, for example).

    NOTE: If you edit an existing API project supplied by One Identity, you will no longer be able to change the authentication.

  5. Assign the created API files to the API project.

  6. Test the API.

  7. Compile the API.

  8. Save the changes to the database.

Project types

The API Designer distinguishes between two different project types for saving your changes.

  • Database project: The project will be stored in the database. Your saved changes are visible to others.

  • Solution project: API Designer allows file-based editing of custom objects locally on your own computer. For more information, see Solution projects.
