Analyzing Multiple Client Traffic

This section illustrates checking traffic related to multiple consumers with unique APIKeys assigned to each consumer.

Scenario Steps

1. Create an API Project with an apiKey policy.
2. Create an API Product with API Projects.
3. Create 2 API Clients.
4. Create an API Client Subscription each for the above clients.
5. Invoke API requests from both subscriptions using apiKeys.
6. Analyze Traffic changes in the Analytics view.

Sample UseCase

Perform the actions below ensuring that Save button is clicked on each panel after adding the attributes required:

1. Create a Currency Convertor API Project with name "WSDLCurrencyConvertor" using the From WSDL option in the API Projects section.

   

   Secure the project with API Key while creating the project.

2. In the Products panel in the Apps section, create a product naming "CurrencyConvertorSampleProduct" and add the WSDLCurrencyConvertor project to the CurrencyConvertorSampleProduct product.

3. In the Clients panel, create 2 clients with names:
   1. CurrencyConvertorClient1
   2. CurrencyConvertorClient2

4. Create 2 Client Subscriptions with names:
   1. CurrencyConvertorClientSub1
   2. CurrencyConvertorClientSub2
       
5. In the API Products panel in the Client Subscriptions panel, add the CurrencyConvertorSampleProduct product to both the Client Subscriptions.

6. Copy the API Consumer Key from the Client Subscriptions by clicking the Product Name and save the keys to a Clip Board or Notepad.

7. Open a browser and invoke API requests randomly from both clients using the URL in the format below:
    http://IPAddress:PortName/<ProxyContextPath>/<Version>/conversionrate?FromCurrency=INR&ToCurrency=USD&apiKey=<ConsumerKey>
   

   

   Example

   http://192.168.2.33:2160/wcc/1.0/conversionrate?FromCurrency=INR&ToCurrency=USD&apiKey=XsJpxVqUjXCRyRTuASTKVxWF
