API Gateway: Qwik Start

API Gateway enables you to provide secure access to your services through a well-defined REST API that is consistent across all of your services, regardless of service implementation. A consistent API:

Makes it easy for app developers to consume your services.
Enables you to change the backend service implementation without affecting the public API.
Enables you to take advantage of the scaling, monitoring, and security features built into the Google Cloud.

Enable the required APIs

In the Cloud Console, on the Navigation menu () click APIs & Services > Library.
Start typing “api gateway” in the Search bar, then select the API Gateway API tile.
Now click the Enable button on the next screen.

Deploying an API backend

API Gateway sits in front of a deployed backend service and handles all incoming requests. In this lab, API Gateway routes incoming calls to a Cloud Function backend named helloGET that contains the function shown below:

Welcome to Cloud Shell! Type "help" to get started.

To deploy the function with an HTTP trigger, run the following command in the directory containing your function:

student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~/nodejs-docs-samples/functions/helloworld/helloworldGet (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ gcloud functions deploy helloGET --runtime nodejs14 --trigger-http --allow-unauthenticated --region europe-west1
In a future Cloud SDK release, new functions will be deployed as 2nd gen  functions by default. This is equivalent to currently deploying new  with the --gen2 flag. Existing 1st gen functions will not be impacted and will continue to deploy as 1st gen functions.
You can preview this behavior in beta. Alternatively, you can disable this behavior by explicitly specifying the --no-gen2 flag or by setting the functions/gen2 config property to 'off'.

Create the API definition

API Gateway uses an API definition to route calls to the backend service. You can use an OpenAPI spec that contains specialized annotations to define the desired API Gateway behavior. The OpenAPI spec for this quickstart contains routing instructions to the Cloud Function backend.

Creating a gateway

Now you are ready to create and deploy a gateway on API Gateway.

In the top search bar enter API Gateway and select it from the options that appear.
Click Create Gateway. Then, in the APIs section:

Ensure the Select an API input is set to Create new API.
For Display Name enter Hello World API
For API ID, run the following command to once again obtain the API ID and enter it into the API ID field:

student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ export API_ID="hello-world-$(cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-z' | fold -w ${1:-8} | head -n 1)"
echo $API_ID
hello-world-vwhmpmln
student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ 

In the API Config section:
Ensure the Select a Config input is set to Create new API config.
Do the following to upload the openapi2-functions.yaml file previously created.

In Cloud Shell, run the following command:
Click Download.
Select Browse and select the file from the browser’s download location:

Enter Hello World Config in the Display Name field.
Ensure the Select a Service Account input is set to Compute Engine default service account.

In the Gateway details Section:

Enter Hello Gateway in the Display Name field.
Set the Location drop down to .

Click Create Gateway.

It will take several minutes (~10 minutes) for the Create Gateway operation to complete. To check the status of the creation and deployment process, you can click the Notification icon in the main navigation bar to display a status notification, as shown in the image below. Please ensure that the icon status has a green check next to it before proceeding.

Testing your API Deployment

Now you can send requests to your API using the URL generated upon deployment of your gateway.

In Cloud Shell, enter the following command to retrieve the GATEWAY_URL of the newly created API hosted by API Gateway:

student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ export GATEWAY_URL=$(gcloud api-gateway gateways describe hello-gateway --location europe-west1 --format json | jq -r .defaultHostname)
student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ echo $GATEWAY_URL
hello-gateway-32ywhtdg.ew.gateway.dev
student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ 

If it is not, that means you will need to wait longer for the API Gateway to be deployed.

Run the following curl command and validate that the response returned is Hello World!

student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ curl -s -w "\n" https://$GATEWAY_URL/hello
Hello World!
student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ 

Securing access by using an API key

To secure access to your API backend, you can generate an API key associated with your project and grant that key access to call your API. To create an API Key you must do the following:

In the Cloud Console, navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials.
Select Create credentials, then select API Key from the dropdown menu. The API key created dialog box displays your newly created key.

AIzaSyC62hnEn0DwEsRv7qG6EHVqORvC8eLSBMU

Copy the API Key from the dialog, then click on close.
Store the API Key value in Cloud Shell by running the following command:

Now, enable the API Key support for your service.

In Cloud Shell, obtain the name of the Managed Service you just created using the following command:

Then, using the Managed Service name of the API you just created, run this command to enable API key support for the service:

student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ export API_KEY=AIzaSyC62hnEn0DwEsRv7qG6EHVqORvC8eLSBMU

Modify the OpenAPI Spec to leverage API Key Security

In this section, modify the API config of the deployed API to enforce an API key validation security policy on all traffic.

Add the security type and securityDefinitions sections to a new file called openapi2-functions2.yaml file as shown below:

Create and deploy a new API config to your existing gateway

Open the API Gateway page in Cloud Console. (Click Navigation Menu > API Gateway.)
Select your API from the list to view details.
Select the Gateways tab.
Select Hello Gateway from the list of available Gateways.
Click on Edit at the top of the Gateway page.
Under API Config change the drop down to Create new API config.
Click Browse in the Upload an API Spec input box and select the openapi2-functions2.yaml file.
Enter Hello Config for Display Name.
Select Qwiklabs User Service Account for Select a Service Account.
Click Update.

Note: It may take a few minutes for the Update Gateway operation to complete.

Testing calls using your API key

To test using your API key run the following command:

student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ export GATEWAY_URL=$(gcloud api-gateway gateways describe hello-gateway --location europe-west1 --format json | jq -r .defaultHostname)
curl -sL $GATEWAY_URL/hello
{"message":"UNAUTHENTICATED: Method doesn't allow unregistered callers (callers without established identity). Please use API Key or other form of API consumer identity to call this API.","code":401}
student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ 

You should see a response similar to the following error as an API key was not supplied with the curl call: UNAUTHENTICATED:Method doesn't allow unregistered callers (callers without established identity). Please use API Key or other form of API consumer identity to call this API.

Run the following curl command with the key query parameter and use the API key previously created to call the API:

student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ curl -sL -w "\n" $GATEWAY_URL/hello?key=$API_KEY
Hello World!
student_01_932d053b64d1@cloudshell:~ (qwiklabs-gcp-02-c45fb2422cb2)$ 

If you do not have the API_KEY environment variable set you can get your API key from the left menu by navigating APIs & Services > Credentials. The key will be available under the API Keys section.

The response returned from the API should now be Hello World!.

You have successfully protected an API backend with API Gateway. Now you can start onboarding new API clients by generating additional API keys.
