apiProviderList¶

Get a full List of all API providers from the API Portal

Description¶

With this step, you can get a list of all API providers from the API Portal using the OData API. Learn more about the API Management API for getting list of an API Providers here.

Usage¶

We recommend to define values of step parameters via .pipeline/config.yml file.
In this case, calling the step is essentially reduced to defining the step name.
Calling the step can be done either in an orchestrator specific way (e.g. via a Jenkins library step) or on the command line.

JenkinsCommand Line

library('piper-lib-os')

apiProviderList script: this

piper apiProviderList

Outputs¶

Output type	Details
commonPipelineEnvironment	custom/apiProviderList

With this step, you can retrieve all the API providers from the API portal. An API provider is a concept in API Management, capability of SAP Integration Suite, which defines the connection details for services running on specific hosts whose details you want to access.

You use an API provider to define not only the details of the host you want an application to reach, but also to define any further details that are necessary to establish the connection, for example, proxy settings. For more details, see the blog API Providers

To consume the ApiProviderList step, proceed as follows:

Copy the SAP API management service key from the SAP BTP cockpit. Go to Instance and Subscriptions → service API Management, API portal, which was created under apiportal-apiaccess plan.
Store your service key created for API Management in the Jenkins server as a secret text.
Create a new Jenkins pipeline designated for the ApiProviderList step.
Execute the pipeline and validate the step exection results as explained in the blog Integration Suite Piper commands
Use the ApiProviderList step to get the api providers list from the API Portal.
ApiProviderList only supports GET operation.
