API Manager Functions
The API Policy Manager provides asset functions and request functions for creating policies and setting up Proxy endpoint rules.
Overview
The API Policy Manager has two types of functions that are integral to creating policies and setting up Proxy endpoint rules.
- Asset Functions
- Request Functions
Asset Functions
The asset variable allows policy instances to access data associated with the asset that is being requested.
| Field | Details | |
|---|---|---|
| path |
Description: The path to the asset being accessed. Syntax: Example: Expression: Where the request was for a Task in the organization's shared project. Result: |
Snaplex Functions
| Field | Details | |
|---|---|---|
| load balancer |
Description: The load balancer for the Snaplex JCC node or FeedMaster node. When configuring an OAuth policy callback URL, you might want to reference the Snaplex load balancer set for your API Version or Proxy. Syntax:

Request Functions
The request variable allows Policy instances to access data associated with
the current request being processed.
| Field | Details | |
|---|---|---|
| remoteAddr |
Description: The IP address of the client making the request as a string. Note that this can be an IPv4 or IPv6 address. Syntax: Example: Expression: Where the request was made from the IP address 10.0.1.2 Result: | |
| remoteUser |
Description: The identifier for the user making the request as a string. Syntax: Example: Expression: Where the request was made by the user Result: | |
| isUserInRole() |

| uri.query |

| headers |
Description: An object that contains the headers from the request. The property names in the object correspond to the HTTP header names that were in the request and lookups are case-insensitive. The values of the properties are lists of strings where each element comes from one instance of a header. Note: Since accessing this object can be error-prone, it is best to use the
match operator to extract data, like so:
Syntax: Example: Expression: Where the request was made with the Content-Type header set to application/json Result: | |
| properties |
Description: An object that contains the internal properties associated with the request. When configuring an OAuth policy scope, you might want to list the Snaplexes. You can use the following functions to do so:
Syntax: | |
