Create API Group
To Create API group we first created three individual API’s Instances and deploy the same on cloudhub, and add the API’s to API group, here we have created a company group which consist of customer,vendor and employee API’s
Click on API Manager
Click on API Group and provide the details
Add the individual API Instances to API Group
API instances are added to API Group which are in active status
Publish the API Group on Exchange
Request Access from exchange
We can see the different SLA associated with each API
Now we can apply the SLA Tier on API group and test the individual API’s from SOAPUI to verify if the SLA Tier applied correctly on Individual API’s
We have configured 2 Req to process per minute
Retrieved the api group client_id and client_secret
Test the Individual API from SOAP-UI, to test the API we need to client_Id and client_Secret for the API-GROUP
Test for Employee API
Now if we trigger more than 2 Request in a minute we will get the error as quota has been exceeded
