  • 1.  create an API using IBM API connect for integrating with database say DB2 or any other database

    Posted Mon August 28, 2023 10:58 AM

    I need to create an API using IBM API connect that can help me integrate with DB2 database, I have explored the knowledge articles but couldn't find anything relevant. Please help me understand -

    1. Is this a valid use case with IBM API connect ?
    2. does IBM API connect allow you to code APIs or just expose them with secure/controlled endpoints ?
    3. How can I go about implementing this use case, any refences/guides will be very helpful.

    Many thanks.

    APIC is more about managing an existing API.

    You can use loopback to create the api if you wish https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/api-connect/10.0.5.x_lts?topic=tool-creating-apis-applications

    or you might be better using something like appconnect to create the rest endpoint that apic can then secure and manage.

    stepzen is your other option to create an easy graphql api from the db schema.
