Updating APIs fails

Support
,
1

We are using Tyk 4.1 open source edition.

  1. We have added apps successfully through the Gateway API
  2. They show up when we call /tyk/apis endpoint.
  3. They show up when we call the /tyk/apis/:apiID endpoint with a GET.
  4. Whenever we call /tyk/apis/:apiID with a PUT, and the body has a change, we get:
    {
    “status”: “error”,
    “message”: “Request APIID does not match that in Definition! For Update operations these must match.”
    }

The documentation indicates that it might be looking for an internal ID of the app - however I can’t find that id in any of the endpoints. Any ideas?

@Hank_Birkdale ,

Thanks for posting your question in our community. It seems that I can’t replicate your issue on my end. Can you provide the payload you are using?

Hi @Page

Here is the payload we used to create the api using the POST on the tyk/apis endpoint. This worked no problem:

Here is the cURL using the PUT at /tyk/apis/LFI-05a:(I’ve removed the X-Tyk-Authorization value)

curl --location --request PUT 'https://tyk.dev.liquidmortgage.com/tyk/apis/LFI-05a' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'X-Tyk-Authorization: xxxxxxxx' \
--data-raw '{
"active": false
}

When you do that I get:

{
    "status": "error",
    "message": "Request APIID does not match that in Definition! For Update operations these must match."
}

NOTE: I can actually update the API using the POST tyk/apis endpoint and changing values there, but it looks like I need to provide all the values - I can’t just update a single config variable like the PUT /tyk/apis/:api_Id implies. Thanks

@Hank_Birkdale Thanks for sharing your payload. It seems the api_id is required in the payload for PUT requests. The bare minimum below should work

{
  "api_id": "LFI-05a",
  "active": true
}

That was it @Olu - thanks!

Hi @Olu, et al…

question about the update… if I were to send in just that little snippet of JSON, would that complete wipe away any other settings I have on that specific API… or will it merge just the keys I have specified in the PUT… I was looking at the Gateway source… and it didn’t look like it was doing a “merge”, just a complete update of the .json file

It’s a merge. You just have to be careful when updating fields with an object value, since it would be a complete replacement of the property

Perfect! Thank you very much for the reply.
