  • 1.  Calculate date difference in API Connect Gateway Script

    Posted Wed August 16, 2023 09:33 AM

    Hi Team...

    We wanted to implement the below logic in API Connect Gateway script

    1. Find the difference between two dates (date format is YYYY-MM-DD)
    2. Find out the whether difference exceeds 'X' days
    3. If so, throw the error to the consumer.

    Please advise how can we achieve in APIC Gateway script.

    Hi Ashok,
    I found this example https://www.javatpoint.com/javascript-date-difference which calculates the number of days, so if that calculation exceed 'X' days do a context.reject and set the desired HTTP status code.   For the latter, see https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/api-connect/10.0.5.x_lts?topic=aplc-using-context-variables-in-gatewayscript-xslt-policies-datapower-api-gateway  and look for context.reject.
    Best Regards,

    Steve
