SAP API Management for Beginners – Part 3: Verify API Key, Subscription, Debug, Versioning & Policy Templates
Part 3 of a 5-part beginner series on SAP API Management within SAP Integration Suite.
A quick recap
In Part 1, we toured every APIM feature. In Part 2, we built the Northwind_API_V1 proxy — API Provider Northwind_API, versioned base path /V1/ProxyNorthwindAPI, 75 auto-discovered resources, auto-generated conditional flows, and the defaultRaiseFaultPolicy returning 405 for unsupported HTTP methods.
The proxy is deployed and working — but completely open. Anyone who knows the URL can call it. Time to lock the front door.
In this post, we’ll:
Understand what the Policy Editor looks like inside the exported XMLAdd the Verify API Key policyCreate a Product and Application to generate API keysTest the full Subscription flow in PostmanUse the Debug tool to trace policy executionUnderstand Saving & Versioning — revisions vs versionsCreate a Policy Template for reuse across proxies
