Creating a Route

We are going to create a route to the httpbin site.

note

httpbin is a simple online service that returns the HTTP data it receives, such as requests and headers. It is often used to test HTTP clients and libraries, as it allows you to see exactly what data is sent and how it is received. The advantage here is that httpbin exposes both a frontend and APIs.

Creation

Click on the Gateway tab

Then click on the fab button on the bottom right +

Enter a name, description, URI and openapi spec for the route.

• name: httpbin
• description: httpbin
• uri: https://httpbin.org:443
• open-api: spec.json

Then select Frontend

note

Setting the route as frontend (UI) activates options related to frontends. For example, the User Button.

Httpbin exposes an OpenAPI specification on the path spec.json.

Enter the path spec.json in the open-api field.

note

When OpenAPI specifications are provided, ARCHWAY allows for finely securing the route for each endpoint. Additionally, a swagger-ui interface is available to test the endpoints (APIs).
