Description

API Management support for request and response validation enables you to block or log API requests and responses that don't adhere to the specified API schema - without utilizing an add-on solution. This offers you protection for your APIs, without additional complexity or cost associated with an add-on.

Requests and responses can be blocked or logged if they contain:

  • Missing required query parameters.
  • JSON bodies that don’t comply to the declared JSON schema.
  • Excessive body size.
  • Query parameters that don’t match specified regex pattern or data type.
  • Headers not specified in the API schema.

This capability will be rolled out over the next several weeks.
