To run API queries, do the following:

    Note: a different set of query types may be enabled depending on the configured data source.

    2. +
  2. In the Search string field, enter the string you want to search for.

    For example, avkon for an API name or akna for a header name, and so on. For multi search seperate the keyword with "; " character. Wildcard characters (*,?) are not supported.

  3. To run the query, click Search.

    The list of found APIs are shown in the Search results list, as shown in the example below.

    +

    The ID of the data source is shown in the brackets after the API name. If there are multiple data source entries configured, the same API may be listed once for each data source entry.
