3. Choose a target description format based on your needs. Select “Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) — W3C” if you are aiming to create a SOAP based service. For all other cases, select “OpenAPI” (JSON or YAML). You will notice two versions listed for this format (v2.0
or v3.0
). Pick any since IBM supports both.
4. Click on “Convert Now” and if the transformation succeeds, you will be shortly prompted to download the converted file. Save it locally on your system.
Depending on your needs, you may prefer to perform the above steps via the API instead, that allows you to integrate API Transformer easily into your workflow.
Step 4: Import the API into API Connect
Now that you have an IBM-compatible API description file, you can proceed to import your API into the API Connect Dashboard.
For an OpenAPI file
1. In the APIs section click on “Add” > “Import API from a file or URL”.
