This blog is the first in a two-part video series that focuses on how to use an order tracking sample API in IBM API Connect.
In the first video, Ricky Moorhouse demonstrates how to build a composite API within API Connect by combining data from two different back-end systems. The first system is our order fulfillment system, which provides order details and status, while the second system consists of the shipping company's shipment tracking API, which provides package tracking information to see where it is on its journey to the customer.

Ricky will walk you through how to develop, test, secure, socialize, and analyze your API usage with the following steps:
Step 1: Access the sample API definition.
Step 2: Import the sample to your API Connect instance.
Step 3: Explore the API definition.
Step 4: Test your API.
Step 5: Add additional security requirements to your order tracking API.
Step 6: Analyze your API calls and responses in the analytics dashboard.
