Shared flows can be used to encapsulate common tasks so they can be easily shared between proxies.
In this lab, you create a shared flow that adds the required Authorization header to a target request, and then call it from your retail proxy.
In this lab, you learn how to perform the following tasks:
For each lab, you get a new Google Cloud project and set of resources for a fixed time at no cost.
Sign in to Qwiklabs using an incognito window.
Note the lab's access time (for example, 1:15:00), and make sure you can finish within that time.
There is no pause feature. You can restart if needed, but you have to start at the beginning.
When ready, click Start lab.
Note your lab credentials (Username and Password). You will use them to sign in to the Google Cloud Console.
Click Open Google Console.
Click Use another account and copy/paste credentials for this lab into the prompts.
If you use other credentials, you'll receive errors or incur charges.
Accept the terms and skip the recovery resource page.
Google Cloud Shell is a virtual machine that is loaded with development tools. It offers a persistent 5GB home directory and runs on the Google Cloud.
Google Cloud Shell provides command-line access to your Google Cloud resources.
In Cloud console, on the top right toolbar, click the Open Cloud Shell button.
Click Continue.
It takes a few moments to provision and connect to the environment. When you are connected, you are already authenticated, and the project is set to your PROJECT_ID. For example:
gcloud is the command-line tool for Google Cloud. It comes pre-installed on Cloud Shell and supports tab-completion.

The highlighted items are used during this lab.
In this task, you create a new shared flow that is used to build a basic auth header for calling your backend service.
In the Google Cloud console, on the Navigation menu (
The Apigee console page will open.
If Apigee is not pinned, search for Apigee in the top search bar and navigate to the Apigee service.
Hover over the name, then click the pin icon (
The Apigee console page will now be pinned to the Navigation menu.
backend-credentials.The shared flow will be used to create the basic auth header created in the updateProductById flow of the retail-v1 proxy:
The policies will be identical to those used in the retail-v1 proxy.
In the shared flow, click the Develop tab.
Click Shared flows > default.
You will add the key value map policy.
On the default flow, click Add Policy Step (+).
In the Add policy step pane, select Create new policy, and then select Mediation > Key Value Map Operations.
Specify the following values:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | KVM-GetCredentials |
| Display name | KVM-GetCredentials |
Click Add.
Click on Policies > KVM-GetCredentials.
Set the policy configuration to:
This policy configuration is identical to the configuration of the KVM policy in the retail-v1 proxy.
Click Shared flows > default.
Now you will add the basic authentication policy.
On the default flow, click Add Policy Step (+).
In the Add policy step pane, select Create new policy, and then select Security > Basic Authentication.
Specify the following values:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | BA-AddAuthHeader |
| Display name | BA-AddAuthHeader |
Click Add.
Click on Policies > BA-AddAuthHeader.
Set the policy configuration to:
Click Shared flows > default.
Your shared flow should look like this:
Click Save to save the shared flow.
Click Deploy.
A shared flow cannot be tested without including it in an API proxy, and it must be deployed to an environment before a proxy calling it can be deployed to that environment.
To specify that you want the new revision deployed to the eval environment, select eval as the Environment, and then click Deploy.
Click Confirm.
In this task, you change your retail-v1 proxy to call the shared flow, replacing the KVM and BasicAuthentication policies with a FlowCallout policy.
On the left navigation menu, click Proxy development > API proxies.
Select the retail-v1 proxy.
Click the Develop tab.
You are modifying the version of the retail-v1 proxy that was created during Labs 1 through 8.
Click Proxy endpoints > default > updateProductById.
To detach the KVM-GetCredentials and BA-AddAuthHeader policies, for each policy, click Policy step actions (
In the updateProductById request flow, click Add Policy Step (+).
In the Add policy step pane, select Create new policy, and then select Extension > Flow Callout.
Specify the following values:
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Name | FC-BackendCredentials |
| Display name | FC-BackendCredentials |
| Sharedflow | select backend-credentials |
Click Add.
The policy configuration simply specifies the shared flow to call in the SharedFlowBundle element. The policy configuration does not need to be changed.
Click Save, and then click Save as New Revision.
Click Deploy.
To specify that you want the new revision deployed to the eval environment, click Deploy.
Click Confirm.
A proxy that is deployed and ready to take traffic will show a green status on the Overview tab.
When a proxy is marked as deployed but the runtime is not yet available and the environment is not yet attached, you may see a red warning sign. Hold the pointer over the Status icon to see the current status.
If the proxy is deployed and shows as green, your proxy is ready for API traffic. If your proxy is not deployed because there are no runtime pods, you can check the provisioning status.
In Cloud Shell, to confirm that the runtime instance has been installed and the eval environment has been attached, run the following commands:
When the script returns ORG IS READY TO USE, you can proceed to the next steps.

In this task, you validate that the retail API and shared flow present the credentials to the backend service and the product overall rating is updated.
The eval environment in the Apigee organization can be called using the hostname eval.example.com. The DNS entry for this hostname has been created within your project, and it resolves to the IP address of the Apigee runtime instance. This DNS entry has been created in a private zone, which means it is only visible on the internal network.
Cloud Shell does not reside on the internal network, so Cloud Shell commands cannot resolve this DNS entry. A virtual machine (VM) within your project can access the private zone DNS. A virtual machine named apigeex-test-vm was automatically created for this purpose. You can make API proxy calls from this machine.
The curl command will be used to send API requests to an API proxy. The -k option for curl tells it to skip verification of the TLS certificate. For this lab, the Apigee runtime uses a self-signed certificate. For a production environment, you should use certificates that have been created by a trusted certificate authority (CA).
In Cloud Shell, open a new tab, and then open an SSH connection to your test VM:
The first gcloud command retrieves the zone of the test VM, and the second opens the SSH connection to the VM.
If asked to authorize, click Authorize.
For each question asked in the Cloud Shell, click Enter or Return to specify the default input.
Your logged in identity is the owner of the project, so SSH to this machine is allowed.
Your Cloud Shell session is now running inside the VM.
The API key may be retrieved directly from the app accessible on the Publish > Apps page. It can also be retrieved via Apigee API call.
In the Cloud Shell SSH session, run the following command:
This command retrieves a Google Cloud access token for the logged-in user, sending it as a Bearer token to the Apigee API call. It retrieves the retail-app app details as a JSON response, which is parsed by jq to retrieve the app's key. That key is then put into the API_KEY environment variable, and the export command is concatenated onto the .bashrc file which runs automatically when starting a the SSH session.
Use this curl command to get a list of products:
The response should be a JSON list of products that resembles this:
The top-level keys are the IDs (00621094000P and 00624932000P are shown here). Choose any one of the IDs in the entire list.
Create an environment variable, replacing REPLACE with the chosen ID:
Look at the current overall_rating for the product, and choose a different positive decimal number. For example, 2.1 is the overall_rating for product 31001 shown above. You could change the rating to 4.5. Create an environment variable, replacing REPLACE with the chosen rating:
Use this command to update the overall_rating, and then retrieve the product to make sure that the overall_rating has changed:
The first curl command will return the same overall_rating that you used to update it. The second curl command will return the entire product, including the updated overall_rating.
The shared flow has the same functionality in the API proxy.
In this lab, you moved some common functionality from your proxy into a shared flow and called it using a FlowCallout policy.
