Swapping Version and Context in API URLs

By default, APIs published in WSO2 API Cloud get URLs like https://{base-gateway-URL}/{API context}/{API version}/{API resources and parameters}. For example, if the custom URL that you assigned to your gateway is api.my.domain, you might get something like https://api.my.domain/stats/1.0/countries/us.

But what if you want to place the version number first and have something like https://api.my.domain/1.0/stats/countries/us instead? This is trivial too. Simply type {version}/stats (or whatever your API context is) instead of just stats as the context on the first step of API creation.

And you can remove the version number altogether by selecting the Make this the Default Version checkbox on the 3rd step of API creation.

WSO2 API Cloud is a powerful API management platform that allows you to easily create the exact API program you need!
