  • 1.  #HOW TO DO THE SCHEMA VALIDATION FOR OPEN API 3.0 DEFINITION IN API CONNECT V10 ?

    Posted 06/21/22 04:49 AM
    @Romil Garg

    I have received OpenAPI3.0 file from other team and they're asking me to create an API with the given OpenAPI3.0 file. As per requirement We have to do the Schema validation for the Incoming JSON request at API Connect.  In general we will use VALIDATE policy to do the validation on Coming Request. Currently, In API Connect v10 there was no VALIDATE policy. Now, How can I do the schema validation in API Connect v10 for OpenAPI3.0 Definition.

    I tried writing gateway script but I felt that was not a good practice. Can you please suggest me the way to do the validation of OpenAPI3.0 definition in API Connect for JSON request?​

    Hi @Kumar . - Last I checked Validate Policy is not available for OpenAPI3.0. Your best bet is to push that work to your backend, at least until that policy is made available by IBM. If that's not an option, unfortunately, you will have to rely on the script/custom policy to do it. ​

    Hi @Romil Garg- Thanks for the confirmation. I never tried the Validation with custom policy, May I know how can we achieve it. Can we find any relatable documents in knowledge center or any other sites.
    I tried writing gateway script but felt like that was not a good practice. Can we completely rely on .js to do the validation, Was it a good way ?

    I have not tried that either. I would suggest reaching out to the IBM Support on this. They might have an existing solution that they can point you to. I would still suggest to push that validation to your backend in the meantime.

    Hi Ravikumar,
    The validate policy for OAI 3.0 Apis will be available in the upcoming 10.5 release.

    Just  to clarify my previous remarks for the DataPower 10.5 release, the initial release of 10.5.0.0 was only for the new IDG x3 appliance.  Subsequent fix packs for VMWare ova support and the IDG x2 appliance will be in subsequent fix packs over the next few months.  If you're needing 10.5 on one of these platforms, stay tuned.

    Regards,

    Steve
