Downloading and uploading an API proxy configuration bundle

This page applies to Apigee and Apigee hybrid.

View Apigee Edge documentation.

You may want to download an API proxy configuration bundle (as a zip file) from Apigee to perform one of the following tasks:

• Import an API proxy using the API proxy configuration bundle to another organization, as described in Importing an API proxy from an API proxy bundle.
• Unzip the API proxy to your local system. This is useful for setting up file-based API proxy development in source control or viewing the file-based version of the resources. If you modify the API proxy configuration locally, you can upload your changes as a new revision of your API proxy.

The following sections describe how to download and upload an API proxy configuration bundle. For information about the expanded contents of the zip file, see API proxy configuration directory structure.

To view the contents of the API proxy configuration bundle, create a new directory and expand the zip file using a utility such as unzip, as shown in the following example:

mkdir myappdir
unzip ./my-app_app_rev3_2019_04_20.zip -d myappdir

For more information about the expanded contents of the zip file, see API proxy configuration directory structure.

Uploading an API proxy configuration bundle

Before you upload an API proxy configuration bundle, re-archive the API proxy configuration bundle directory if you have modified it, including any new or changed files. You can use a utility such as zip, as the following example shows:

zip my-new-proxy.zip -r .

The top-level directory in the zip file must be /apiproxy. For more information about the required directory structure, see API proxy configuration directory structure.

Note: There are no special requirements for the zip file name. For example, you do not need to increment the revision number or specify the date in the file name, unless you find it useful for debugging or source control.

Upload an API proxy configuration bundle, as described in the following sections.

Classic Apigee UI

To upload an API proxy configuration bundle and create a new API proxy, see Importing an API proxy from an API proxy bundle

To upload an API proxy configuration bundle and create a new revision of an existing API proxy:

1. Open the API proxy in API proxy editor.
2. Click the Develop tab.
3. Select the API proxy revision that you want to download in the Revision drop-down.
4. Select Revision n > Import revision.
5. Click Choose File and navigate to the zip file in your local directory and click Open.
6. Click Upload

   If you get an error, such as Bundle is invalid. Empty bundle, then make sure your zip file's top-level directory is /apiproxy. If it isn't, re-archive your API proxy configuration files from the root of the expanded directory.

After uploading your new API proxy configuration, Apigee increments the revision number and displays the new revision. Apigee does not deploy the new revision automatically after you upload it. To deploy the new revision, see Deploying an API proxy.
