Hello Team,

Can anyone explain me the difference between "Publish Web API" vs "Publish REST Service Proxy Wizard".

I believe both offers the same fuctionality and no differences. So please explain me . Many Thanks in advance.

Hi Praty,

Publishing as a proxy service creates a default policy that captures the request URI and query parameters and forwards to a backend service. Using the Gateway a proxy for the request.

Meaning, you wish to not expose your backend server to a client, the backend: https://YourBackendServer.com/test
You could create a proxy policy that will accept requests at https://YourGateway.com/test which will forward automatically to the backend.

So the main differences:
a. policy auto created to proxy the request
b. service published as a wildcard uri, ie: /test/*

Joe
