I am following the tutorial https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/apiconnect/tutorials?topic=apiconnect-tut_create_api_node&locale=en

But when I am trying to start the local test servers, I cannot find the start button.

I am using windows and here is the apic version.

PS E:\Code\weather-data> apic -v
API Connect: v5.0.8.7 (apiconnect: v5.0.25)

Import your API spec and proxy an existing REST service with IBM Bluemix is missing several images.

The images appear in https://console-regional.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/apiconnect/tutorials/tut_import_openapi_rest_bm.html#import-your-api-spec-and-proxy-an-existing-rest-service-with-ibm-bluemix but not the https://console.bluemix.net/docs... URL. Why?

See the comments in this internal GIT - they are related to a support ticket.
https://github.ibm.com/apimesh/support/issues/4123#issuecomment-30419985

Two sections involved:

• https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/apiconnect?topic=apiconnect-ri-mng-users#access-needs_ri-mng-users
• https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/apiconnect?topic=apiconnect-iam

https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/apiconnect?topic=apiconnect-about_apic_overview has a graphic with the phrase "Bluemix runtime" which should reflect "IBM Cloud runtime".

After installing the API Connect V5 Toolkit I'm trying to create an API in Node.js with these steps but at apic edit I got this error:

Getting Started Discovering APIs has the following:

Prerequisite
Before you begin, you will need to install IBM® API Connect for Bluemix® Developer Portal.

But this link is to instructions for setting up Dev Portal on premesis. Instead, this should link to instructions to setup Dev Portal on Bluemix: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFS6T/com.ibm.apic.devportal.doc/tapim_tutorial_using_ADP.html

After several tickets submitted No Labs can be accessed for IBM training courses, from all that I read the original feature code issued is valid for a period of time, does anyone know if IBM will extend a feature code or issue a new code.

Could there be anything on my computer stopping IBM Cloud website from opening or is an IBM issue?

I was able to access and use the labs early in the year.

This part of the documentation is outdated. The icon has changed.

I also cannot seem to find this section. It is also unclear whether this should be in the API Designer UI or somewhere else. I suggest adding instruction on how to access the test console and Start the server

The section Publishing a LoopBack application to Bluemix from the CLI is cut off after the first two lines....

However, the source markdown has eight more steps: https://github.com/IBM-Bluemix-Docs/apiconnect/blob/master/creating_apis.md#publishing-a-loopback-application-to-bluemix-from-the-cli

I don't know why the rest of the content is not displayed, but it should be! As it is, the section is very confusing.

I want to create a loopback api, and then manage/secure/rate-limit that API using API Connect.

I was off to a great start using https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/apiconnect/tutorials/tut_create_api_node.html#creating-an-api-in-node-js

But the tutorial ends after testing the API...with Next Steps pointing to "Manage a REST service or Manage a SOAP service"

These Next Steps tutorials do not continue where this ended. Key information is missing:

1. How do I deploy the application (to IBM Cloud) that I just created using api loopback?
2. What is and where can I get the OpenAPI file for the loopback application I created?

The tut_create_api_node tutorial needs this information before directing the user to tut_import_openapi_rest_bm

Reading the API Connect documentation, I've found an incorrect link to Secure Gateway documentation.

Where: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/apiconnect?topic=apiconnect-managing_apis#expose_apis_sec_gate_managing_apis
Text: For more information about the Secure Gateway service, and how to set it up, see About Secure Gateway

The link is redirecting to https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/services/SecureGateway?topic=index#getting-started-with-sg but this is no longer a valid URL for Getting Started with Secure Gateway service. Currently, the available link is this https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/SecureGateway?topic=SecureGateway-getting-started-with-sg.

In Prerequisites in https://console-regional.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/apiconnect/tutorials/tut_create_api_node.html#prerequisites the link to installation instructions is https://github.com/ibm-apiconnect/getting-started/tree/master/toolkit/0-Prereq, but it should link to either:

• Existing installation section in BM docs: https://console-regional.ng.bluemix.net/docs/services/apiconnect/creating_apis.html#install_dev_tk
• KC toolkit installation doc, which is more complete: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSFS6T/com.ibm.apic.toolkit.doc/tapim_cli_install.html

@ejbowling I was setting up a secure gateway using these instructions https://console.bluemix.net/docs/services/apiconnect/managing_apis.html#managing_apis published Jan 17th.

However they don't seem to work on my London space.

Are the docs out of sync with the releases?
I used the old way of creating a secure gateway and everything worked as expected

I also noticed that some of the links in the step by step popups point to our internal test systems which most public users won't have access too.
