What API policy would be LEAST LIKELY used when designing an Experience API that is intended to work with a consumer mobile phone or tablet application?


A.

OAuth 2.0 access token enforcement


B.

Client ID enforcement


C.

JSON threat protection


D.

IPwhitellst





D.
  

IPwhitellst



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: IP whitelist
*****************************************
>> OAuth 2.0 access token and Client ID enforcement policies are VERY common to apply
on Experience APIs as API consumers need to register and access the APIs using one of
these mechanisms
>> JSON threat protection is also VERY common policy to apply on Experience APIs to
prevent bad or suspicious payloads hitting the API implementations.
>> IP whitelisting policy is usually very common in Process and System APIs to only
whitelist the IP range inside the local VPC. But also applied occassionally on some
experience APIs where the End User/ API Consumers are FIXED.
>> When we know the API consumers upfront who are going to access certain Experience
APIs, then we can request for static IPs from such consumers and whitelist them to prevent
anyone else hitting the API.
However, the experience API given in the question/ scenario is intended to work with a
consumer mobile phone or tablet application. Which means, there is no way we can know
all possible IPs that are to be whitelisted as mobile phones and tablets can so many in
number and any device in the city/state/country/globe.
So, It is very LEAST LIKELY to apply IP Whitelisting on such Experience APIs whose
consumers are typically Mobile Phones or Tablets.

Say, there is a legacy CRM system called CRM-Z which is offering below functions:
1. Customer creation
2. Amend details of an existing customer
3. Retrieve details of a customer
4. Suspend a customer


A.

Implement a system API named customerManagement which has all the functionalities
wrapped in it as various operations/resources


B.

Implement different system APIs named createCustomer, amendCustomer,
retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer as they are modular and has seperation of concerns


C.

Implement different system APIs named createCustomerInCRMZ,
amendCustomerInCRMZ, retrieveCustomerFromCRMZ and suspendCustomerInCRMZ as
they are modular and has seperation of concerns





B.
  

Implement different system APIs named createCustomer, amendCustomer,
retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer as they are modular and has seperation of concerns



Correct Answer: Implement different system APIs named createCustomer,
amendCustomer, retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer as they are modular and has
seperation of concerns
*****************************************
>> It is quite normal to have a single API and different Verb + Resource combinations.
However, this fits well for an Experience API or a Process API but not a best architecture
style for System APIs. So, option with just one customerManagement API is not the best
choice here.
>> The option with APIs in createCustomerInCRMZ format is next close choice w.r.t
modularization and less maintenance but the naming of APIs is directly coupled with the
legacy system. A better foreseen approach would be to name your APIs by abstracting the
backend system names as it allows seamless replacement/migration of any backend
system anytime. So, this is not the correct choice too.
>> createCustomer, amendCustomer, retrieveCustomer and suspendCustomer is the right
approach and is the best fit compared to other options as they are both modular and same
time got the names decoupled from backend system and it has covered all requirements a
System API needs.

What best explains the use of auto-discovery in API implementations?


A. It makes API Manager aware of API implementations and hence enables it to enforce policies


B. It enables Anypoint Studio to discover API definitions configured in Anypoint Platform


C. It enables Anypoint Exchange to discover assets and makes them available for reuse


D. It enables Anypoint Analytics to gain insight into the usage of APIs





A.
  It makes API Manager aware of API implementations and hence enables it to enforce policies

Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: It makes API Manager aware of API implementations and hence enables it
to enforce policies.
*****************************************
>> API Autodiscovery is a mechanism that manages an API from API Manager by pairing
the deployed application to an API created on the platform.
>> API Management includes tracking, enforcing policies if you apply any, and reporting
API analytics.
>> Critical to the Autodiscovery process is identifying the API by providing the API name
and version.

An organization requires several APIs to be secured with OAuth 2.0, and PingFederate has been identified as the identity provider for API client authorization, The PingFederate Client Provider is configured in access management, and the PingFederate OAuth 2.0 Token Enforcement policy is configured for the API instances required by the organization. The API instances reside in two business groups (Group A and Group B) within the Master Organization (Master Org). What should be done to allow API consumers to access the API instances?


A. The API administrator should configure the correct client discovery URL in both child business groups, and the API consumer should request access to the API in Ping Identity


B. The API administrator should grant access to the API consumers by creating contracts in the relevant API instances in API Manager


C. The APL consumer should create a client application and request access to the APT in Anypoint Exchange, and the API administrator should approve the request


D. The APT consumer should create a client application and request access to the API in Ping Identity, and the organization's Ping Identity workflow will grant access





C.
  The APL consumer should create a client application and request access to the APT in Anypoint Exchange, and the API administrator should approve the request

Version 3.0.1 of a REST API implementation represents time values in PST time using ISO 8601 hh:mm:ss format. The API implementation needs to be changed to instead represent time values in CEST time using ISO 8601 hh:mm:ss format. When following the semver.org semantic versioning specification, what version should be assigned to the updated API implementation?


A.

3.0.2


B.

4.0.0


C.

3.1.0


D.

3.0.1





B.
  

4.0.0



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: 4.0.0
*****************************************
As per semver.org semantic versioning specification:
Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH, increment the:
- MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes.
- MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards compatible manner.
- PATCH version when you make backwards compatible bug fixes.
As per the scenario given in the question, the API implementation is completely changing
its behavior. Although the format of the time is still being maintained as hh:mm:ss and there
is no change in schema w.r.t format, the API will start functioning different after this change
as the times are going to come completely different.
Example: Before the change, say, time is going as 09:00:00 representing the PST. Now on,
after the change, the same time will go as 18:00:00 as Central European Summer Time is
9 hours ahead of Pacific Time.
>> This may lead to some uncertain behavior on API clients depending on how they are
handling the times in the API response. All the API clients need to be informed that the API
functionality is going to change and will return in CEST format. So, this considered as a
MAJOR change and the version of API for this new change would be 4.0.0

How can the application of a rate limiting API policy be accurately reflected in the RAML definition of an API?


A.

By refining the resource definitions by adding a description of the rate limiting policy behavior


B.

By refining the request definitions by adding a remaining Requests query parameter with description, type, and example


C.

By refining the response definitions by adding the out-of-the-box Anypoint Platform ratelimit-
enforcement securityScheme with description, type, and example


D.

By refining the response definitions by adding the x-ratelimit-* response headers with
description, type, and example





D.
  

By refining the response definitions by adding the x-ratelimit-* response headers with
description, type, and example



Explanation: Explanation
Correct Answer: By refining the response definitions by adding the x-ratelimit-* response
headers with description, type, and example
