The Apigee Edge API samples contains the sample API proxies, policies, code, and tools that illustrate the capabilities of Apigee Edge API Services described below.

For instructions on using the samples, see Using the sample API proxies.

Learn by doing

Want to get your hands dirty in a hurry and start building a solid knowledge base about Apigee Edge? We have a library of "learn-edge" samples in GitHub that let you quickly deploy, invoke, and trace some sample proxies, starting with the very simplest proxy and moving on to proxies that illustrate API key validation, quota, response caching, fault handling, and more.

Once you clone the repo and set up your environment (takes just a few minutes), you can try out each sample in less than a minute. And because each sample creates a new revision of the same proxy, your environment won't get cluttered with a lot of samples. You can switch revisions, redeploy a different revision in the management UI, and look at the proxy code any time. The readme for each sample also gives you a brief rundown of what the sample is doing and how it's set up.

Doc cookbook samples

A set of samples are provided for the API proxy cookbook topics.

Name Description Policy Types Resources
javascript-cookbook Demonstrates a simple JavaScript snippet that adds HTTP headers from variables, transforms an XML-formatted weather report from JSON to XML, and trims content down for mobile clients.

Javascript
XMLToJSON

minimize.js
setHeaders.js
javascript-mashup-cookbook A complete JavaScript application that calls to public APIs, combines results, and generates an enriched response for the client app. (Note: this API proxy implements the same functionality as the policy-mashup, demonstrating that the same problem can be addressed using different techniques.) Javascript MashItUp.js
java-hello Simple hello world Java callout. JavaCallout JavaHello.java
java-cookbook Converts response content and headers to uppercase. JavaCallout
ResponseUppercase.java
java-properties Demonstrates how to use properties in a Java callout. JavaCallout JavaProperties.java
java-error Demonstrates error handling patterns that you can use in Java Callout code. JavaCallout JavaError.java
policy-mashup-cookbook A complete application that uses policy composition to call two public APIs, combines results, and generates an enriched response for the client app. (Note: this API proxy implements the same functionality as the javascript-mashup, demonstrating that the same problem can be addressed using different techniques.) AssignMessage
ServiceCallout
ExtractVariables

XMLToJSON
GenerateResponse.js

Sample API proxies

The following API proxies are located in GitHub, where the readme pages provide detailed descriptions of the samples. If you're interested in how a particular policy works in a sample, look in the Policy Types column below for the one you're interested in, then click the sample name in the Name column. (The policies are linked to their respective reference pages in the docs.)

Reference and Tools

In addition to the doc cookbook samples and sample proxies in the tables above, the Edge GitHub samples also contain these resources:

Name Description Policy Types Resources
regex-protection The regular expression threat protection policy can protect your backend APIs and microservices from SQL injection attacks.

Regular Expression Protection

/schemas

XML schema files that you can use as a reference when configuring API proxies, policies, API products, and developer and app profiles.

/tools

Contains a deployment tool, deploy.py, that imports an API proxy to an organization on Apigee Edge and then deploys it to the environment specified.

/org-snapshot

The organization snapshot tool retrieves organization settings, including developers, API products, virtual hosts, key/value maps, etc. It can be used to backup the details of an organization, or to discover the settings in an organization.
