I completed the first course in this sequence which is an overview of API management with Apigee and setting up your Apigee evaluation account. You also upload a swagger document for your first OpenAPI spec.

This course, the second in the sequence, is where you get down to work and use Apigee Edge to create and deploy an API using the swagger doc you uploaded in the first course. There are several steps to follow using the Apigee Edge web interface and then your API is deployed.

The deployment indicated that it succeeded, but I could not access my API using either a browser or Postman. Several other students reported the same problem. One student said that his API had worked previously but now had stopped working. The course staff eventually said that a platform issue had been causing this problem and that it had been fixed, but two completely new deployment still failed with the same error.

I had to give up on the course because the time limit for all three courses was nearly up and I had been blocked at the beginning of course 2 for several days. And I was very tired of pounding my head against Apigee Edge.

I hope someone else offers a course on API Management using a different platform (like AWS API Gateway). API management is an important subject that developers will use for a long time and a good course is needed. This course needs to be fixed. Until then I cannot recommend it.
