Simple Example to Change Target URL for Conditional Proxy Endpoint

Google Cloud Apigee

Hi, could someone provide me with a simple example of how to setup a Proxy Endpoint with a Conditional Flow and then change the URL.

What I want is to call a specific URL and not add the Conditional Flow criteria to the called URL.

Conditional targets may be simpler than using a conditional flow to change the target. Check out the example listed on the page describing how routing works: http://docs.apigee.com/api-services/content/understanding-routes#determiningtheurlofthetargetendpoint-conditionaltargets

Thanks for the response Carlos, however I still cannot seem to get this working because it still amends the resource-path to the target URL.

i.e. http://myapi.apigee.net/base-api/service1 targets incorrectly to http://mycompany.com/api/anotherservice/service1

Here is the relevant section from the XML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>

(proxy.pathsuffix MatchesPath “/service1”) and (request.verb = “GET”)

http://mycompany.com/api/anotherservice

What I need is the following

http://myapi.apigee.net/base-api/service1

http://mycompany.com/api/anotherservice

So the target URL has no resemblance to the proxy URL

We want to completely mask the backend services into a rebranded service.

@Philip Sinclair ,

If you don’t want to copy proxy path suffix & query params to target , you need to set below variables to false using Assign Message Policy or Javascript policy in target request flow.

target.copy.pathsuffix=false
target.copy.queryparams=false

You cannot use hardcoded URLs for your use case since you need to set above variables in target request flow, Create a new targetendpoint & use same in route rules. See example proxy below.

http://anildevportal-test.apigee.net/base-api/json1 → http://mocktarget.apigee.net/json

Proxy BasePath : /base-api

Proxy PathSuffix : /json1

Target EndPoint : http://mocktarget.apigee.net/json

As you can see in above attached proxy, Path suffix is not carried over to target endpoint.

Hope it helps.

Anil’s answer should cover that, however it will stop the entire path from being appended. I don’t know if we have enough info to provide a complete answer. Do you have two different backends you want to appear under /base-api/service1 and /base-api/service2? If that’s the case why not two proxies?
