Restrictions and Compatibility

Note the following restrictions and compatibility issues when importing or exporting APIs on APIG:

Restrictions

  • APIG parameter restrictions:
    • APIG does not support the configuration of request parameters in the formData and body locations.
    • APIG does not support the configuration of parameters consumes and produces.
    • The names of header parameters are not case-sensitive.
  • Backend policy restrictions are as follows:
    • Default backend type HTTP: The HTTP and HTTP-VPC backends are supported.
    • Default backend type HTTP-VPC: The HTTP and HTTP-VPC backends are supported.
    • Default backend type function: Only the function backend is supported.
    • Default backend type mock: Only the mock backend is supported.

Compatibility

  • OpenAPI is supported.

    The OpenAPI Specification (OAS) defines a standard, language-agnostic interface to RESTful APIs. OAS is formerly known as Swagger. APIG supports two OpenAPI specifications: Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI 3.0. For easy understanding, in the following sections, OAS refers to OpenAPI Specification (including Swagger 2.0 and OpenAPI 3.0), Swagger refers to Swagger 2.0, and OpenAPI refers to OpenAPI 3.0.

  • Mappings between imported or exported OAS objects and APIG's objects
  • Differences in request parameter types
  • Differences in API request path template syntax
  • Extended fields supported for APIG when importing APIs
