string

Fully qualified name in format service.collection.endpointName.

string

Human-readable display name.

string

string

URL for the API endpoint.

string

HTTP request method (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE).

Create or Update (PUT)

Use PUT /v1/apiEndpoints instead of POST to perform an upsert. If an API endpoint with the same fullyQualifiedName already exists, it will be updated; otherwise, a new API endpoint is created. The request body is the same as POST.

curl -X PUT "{base_url}/api/v1/apiEndpoints" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ ... same body as POST ... }'

PUT will not return a 409 conflict error if the entity already exists — it will update the existing entity instead.

Bulk Create or Update (PUT)

Use PUT /v1/apiEndpoints/bulk to create or update multiple API endpoints in a single request. The request body is an array of create request objects.

curl -X PUT "{base_url}/api/v1/apiEndpoints/bulk" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {access_token}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '[
    { "name": "addPet", "apiCollection": "sample_api_service.pet", "requestMethod": "POST" },
    { "name": "getPet", "apiCollection": "sample_api_service.pet", "requestMethod": "GET" }
  ]'

Error Handling

Code	Error Type	Description

`401`	`UNAUTHORIZED`	Invalid or missing authentication token
`403`	`FORBIDDEN`	User lacks permission to create API endpoints
