How to import, export APIs with WSO2 API Manager 1.9.0

API Manager 1.9.0 we have introduced API import/export capability. With that we will be able to to download API from one platform and export it to other platform.
With this feature we will retrieve all the required meta information and registry resources for the requested API and generate a zipped archive.
And then we can upload that to other API Manager server.

To try this first you need to get web application source code from this git repo(https://github.com/thilinicooray/api-import-export).

Then build and generate web application.
After that you have to deploy that in API Manager. For that you may use web application ui. Login to management console as admin user and go to this link.

Home     > Manage     > Applications     > Add     > Web Applications

Then add web application.
Zipped archive of API will consists of the following structure

-
|_ Meta Information
   |_ api.json
|_ Documents
   |_ docs.json
|_ Image
   |_ icon.
|_ WSDL
   |_ -.wsdl
|_ Sequences
   |_ In Sequence
      |_.xml
   |_ Out Sequence
      |_.xml
   |_ Fault Sequence
      |_.xml
API Import accepts the exported zipped archive and create an API in the imported environment.

This feature has been implemented as a RESTful API.

Please use following curl command to export API.
Here you need to provide basic auth headers for admin user.
And need to pass following parameters.

Name of the API as > name=test-sanjeewa
Version of API > version=1.0.0
Provider of API > provider=admin

curl -H "Authorization:Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" -X GET "https://localhost:9443/api-import-export/export-api?name=test-sanjeewa&version=1.0.0&provider=admin" -k > exportedApi.zip
Now you will see downloaded zip file in current directory.

Then you need to import downloaded zip file to other deployment.
See following sample command for that.

Here file is above downloaded archive file.
And service call should go to the server we need to import this API. Here i'm running my second server with port offset one. So url would be "https://localhost:9444"
curl -H "Authorization:Basic YWRtaW46YWRtaW4=" -F file=@"/home/sanjeewa/work/exportedApi.zip" -k -X POST "https://localhost:9444/api-import-export/import-api"
Now go to API publisher and change API life cycle to publish(by default imported APIs will be in created state once you imported).

Then go to API store and subscribe,use it :-)
Thanks thilini and chamin for getting this done.
