# POST /v1/{+parent}/apiproducts

`POST /v1/{+parent}/apiproducts`

Creates an API product in an organization. You create API products after you have proxied backend services using API proxies. An API product is a collection of API resources combined with quota settings and metadata that you can use to deliver customized and productized API bundles to your developer community. This metadata can include: - Scope - Environments - API proxies - Extensible profile API products enable you repackage APIs on the fly, without having to do any additional coding or configuration. Apigee recommends that you start with a simple API product including only required elements. You then provision credentials to apps to enable them to start testing your APIs. After you have authentication and authorization working against a simple API product, you can iterate to create finer-grained API products, defining different sets of API resources for each API product. **WARNING:** - If you don't specify an API proxy in the request body, *any* app associated with the product can make calls to *any* API in your entire organization. - If you don't specify an environment in the request body, the product allows access to all environments. For more information, see What is an API product?

## Path parameters

- `parent` string, required

## Request body

  - `description` string — Description of the API product. Include key information about the API product that is not captured by other fields.
  - `proxies` string[] — Comma-separated list of API proxy names to which this API product is bound. By specifying API proxies, you can associate resources in the API product with specific API proxies, preventing developers from accessing those resources through other API proxies. Apigee rejects requests to API proxies that are not listed. **Note:** The API proxy names must already exist in the specified environment as they will be validated upon creation.
  - `quotaInterval` string — Time interval over which the number of request messages is calculated.
  - `graphqlOperationGroup` GoogleCloudApigeeV1GraphQLOperationGroup — List of graphQL operation configuration details associated with Apigee API proxies or remote services. Remote services are non-Apigee proxies, such as Istio-Envoy.

If only operation types are specified, the quota will be applied to all GraphQL requests irrespective of the GraphQL name. **Note**: Currently, you can specify only a single GraphQLOperation. Specifying more than one will cause the operation to fail.
        - `operationTypes` string[] — Required. GraphQL operation types. Valid values include `query` or `mutation`. **Note**: Apigee does not currently support `subscription` types.
        - `operation` string — GraphQL operation name. The name and operation type will be used to apply quotas. If no name is specified, the quota will be applied to all GraphQL operations irrespective of their operation names in the payload.

        - `name` string — API key of the attribute.
        - `value` string — Value of the attribute.
  - `environments` string[] — Comma-separated list of environment names to which the API product is bound. Requests to environments that are not listed are rejected. By specifying one or more environments, you can bind the resources listed in the API product to a specific environment, preventing developers from accessing those resources through API proxies deployed in another environment. This setting is used, for example, to prevent resources associated with API proxies in `prod` from being accessed by API proxies deployed in `test`.
  - `attributes` GoogleCloudApigeeV1Attribute[] — Array of attributes that may be used to extend the default API product profile with customer-specific metadata. You can specify a maximum of 18 attributes. Use this property to specify the access level of the API product as either `public`, `private`, or `internal`. Only products marked `public` are available to developers in the Apigee developer portal. For example, you can set a product to `internal` while it is in development and then change access to `public` when it is ready to release on the portal. API products marked as `private` do not appear on the portal, but can be accessed by external developers.
    - `name` string — API key of the attribute.
    - `value` string — Value of the attribute.
  - `apiResources` string[] — Comma-separated list of API resources to be bundled in the API product. By default, the resource paths are mapped from the `proxy.pathsuffix` variable. The proxy path suffix is defined as the URI fragment following the ProxyEndpoint base path. For example, if the `apiResources` element is defined to be `/forecastrss` and the base path defined for the API proxy is `/weather`, then only requests to `/weather/forecastrss` are permitted by the API product. You can select a specific path, or you can select all subpaths with the following wildcard: - `/**`: Indicates that all sub-URIs are included. - `/*` : Indicates that only URIs one level down are included. By default, / supports the same resources as /** as well as the base path defined by the API proxy. For example, if the base path of the API proxy is `/v1/weatherapikey`, then the API product supports requests to `/v1/weatherapikey` and to any sub-URIs, such as `/v1/weatherapikey/forecastrss`, `/v1/weatherapikey/region/CA`, and so on. For more information, see Managing API products.
  - `grpcOperationGroup` GoogleCloudApigeeV1GrpcOperationGroup — List of gRPC operation configuration details associated with Apigee API proxies.
    - `operationConfigs` GoogleCloudApigeeV1GrpcOperationConfig[] — Required. List of operation configurations for either Apigee API proxies that are associated with this API product.
      - `methods` string[] — List of unqualified gRPC method names for the proxy to which quota will be applied. If this field is empty, the Quota will apply to all operations on the gRPC service defined on the proxy. Example: Given a proxy that is configured to serve com.petstore.PetService, the methods com.petstore.PetService.ListPets and com.petstore.PetService.GetPet would be specified here as simply ["ListPets", "GetPet"].
      - `service` string — Required. gRPC Service name associated to be associated with the API proxy, on which quota rules can be applied upon.
      - `attributes` GoogleCloudApigeeV1Attribute[] — Custom attributes associated with the operation.
        - `name` string — API key of the attribute.
        - `value` string — Value of the attribute.
      - `apiSource` string — Required. Name of the API proxy with which the gRPC operation and quota are associated.
      - `quota` GoogleCloudApigeeV1Quota — Quota contains the essential parameters needed that can be applied on the resources, methods, API source combination associated with this API product. While Quota is optional, setting it prevents requests from exceeding the provisioned parameters.
        - `timeUnit` string — Time unit defined for the `interval`. Valid values include `minute`, `hour`, `day`, or `month`. If `limit` and `interval` are valid, the default value is `hour`; otherwise, the default is null.
        - `interval` string — Required. Time interval over which the number of request messages is calculated.
        - `limit` string — Required. Upper limit allowed for the time interval and time unit specified. Requests exceeding this limit will be rejected.
  - `quota` string — Number of request messages permitted per app by this API product for the specified `quotaInterval` and `quotaTimeUnit`. For example, a `quota` of 50, for a `quotaInterval` of 12 and a `quotaTimeUnit` of hours means 50 requests are allowed every 12 hours.
  - `quotaCounterScope` 'QUOTA_COUNTER_SCOPE_UNSPECIFIED' | 'PROXY' | 'OPERATION' | 'PRODUCT' — Scope of the quota decides how the quota counter gets applied and evaluate for quota violation. If the Scope is set as PROXY, then all the operations defined for the APIproduct that are associated with the same proxy will share the same quota counter set at the APIproduct level, making it a global counter at a proxy level. If the Scope is set as OPERATION, then each operations get the counter set at the API product dedicated, making it a local counter. Note that, the QuotaCounterScope applies only when an operation does not have dedicated quota set for itself.
