How can a Consumer see their API usage?
In IBM API Connect v10.0.3, consumers can see their API usage on their application page within the Developer Portal. This page provides details about the number of requests made by their application to different APIs, allowing consumers to monitor their API consumption directly. This feature helps consumers track their usage metrics without needing to keep track themselves or request reports from the API provider.
Other options are incorrect:
Option A: The calling application does not need to track API usage manually.
Option C: Consumers are not typically given access to the API Manager analytics directly.
Option D: API providers do not need to generate a separate report; usage details are automatically available to consumers.

Within the client security policy, the credential extraction method is set to Form.
Which statement is a requirement in this case?
In IBM API Connect, when the credential extraction method is set to Form in the client security policy, it means that the client credentials (such as the client ID and secret) must be supplied in a specific format using a POST request. Specifically, the credentials are included in the body of the request in a URL-encoded form. This is typical in OAuth 2.0 workflows where client credentials need to be extracted from a form-based submission, often used in situations involving login or token exchanges.
'Client id' and 'secret' are provided in the request body through form fields, rather than being passed in the URL or headers.
This method adheres to secure practices where sensitive credentials are sent via POST to avoid exposing them in the URL.
Therefore, the correct statement is that client ID and secret must be supplied via a POST request when using the Form credential extraction method.

For the policy JSON to XML to work, what needs to be followed for the Datapower API Gateway?
For the JSON to XML policy to work on the DataPower API Gateway, you need to configure the policy with the corresponding schemas to perform the transformation. The schemas define the structure and data types of the JSON and XML formats, allowing the policy to accurately convert between the two.

Which statement is true if the admin login has been disabled on the Developer portal?
If the admin login has been disabled on the Developer Portal, you can still access the admin login page by navigating to <siteurl>/user/login?registry_url=/admin. This URL bypasses the normal login process and allows you to directly access the admin login screen.

How are Gateway extensions packaged to upload to the Gateways?
Packaging Format: Gateway extensions in IBM API Connect v10.0.3 are packaged as .zip files. This format is used to bundle all necessary files and configurations required for the extension.
Upload Process: These .zip files are then uploaded to the Gateway through the API Manager interface. The API Manager handles the deployment and integration of these extensions into the Gateway.
