To get the most out of this book

You must understand that API Connect is not open source. You will need to have API Connect available to you. You can procure it in IBM Cloud or perhaps your employer has purchased a license of API Connect Enterprise. Regardless, you will need to access API Connect on the cloud or within your organization. While the book will guide you without a licensed API Connect implementation system, not having one will hamper your experience. The book is based on v10.0.1.5.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code from the book's GitHub repository (a link is available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
