Is there a way to add APIs/API Proxies developed using Mule to the WSO2 API Management Console to control them and do the same operations as what Anypoint Management Console does?
Yes, you can. Use your API URL as the backend URL for the APIs you create in WSO2 APIM.
Follow the QSG here.

I am using wso2 API manager 3.1.0 I want to create the users and roles programatically. Are there any REST APIs available for the carbon console of the APIM to achieve this? I referred to this document
https://apim.docs.wso2.com/en/next/develop/product-apis/restful-apis/ which has only details of the
REST APIs available for API publisher and devportal mainly.
You can use RemoteUserStoreManagerService SOAP service.

Evaluating Wso2 API Manager. I have dozens of various APIs that have been developed by several groups over the past few years, all authenticate with IIS windows authentication.
How can I configure Wso2 API Manager to call a backend OData API that is expecting Windows Authentication in the request?
I don't actually need to pass-through authentication from the calling user, I'd be okay specifying a dedicated service account that API Manager always used to call the backend services.
API Manager supports NTLM authentication. You can follow the sample in APIM_HOME/samples/NTLMGrantClient. This documentation explains this. Also please follow this blog.
The Endpoint Auth Type "Windows Authentification" is not supported by API Manager. You might want to consider activating "Basic" or "Digest" authentification on your service in IIS (both of them are supported by API Manager).
see: https://docs.wso2.com/display/AM1100/Basic+Auth
We're trying to make Salesforce send a message to one of our APIs through WSO2 API Manager 1.9.0. However, it seems that Salesforce is unable to authenticate and recommends using IP-restrictions.
So, is it possible to allow an anonymous/unauthenticated user to use an API in API Manager? IP-restriction I can take care of with firewalls, I don't have to do that in API Manager.
When you create an API, in the Manage tap, you can select No Authentication for an API resource. Then you will be able to access the API resource without access token. See my answer for the similar question.
I was thinking of using my own custom api gateway running on a separate box using nginx.
Is there any way in which the WSO2 API Manager can integrate to my api gateway?
In case there isn't, wanted to know if there's the possibility to run WSO2 API Manager without (or disabling) the API Gateway and if you could tell me which WSO2 API Manager's features would be unavailable.
Currently there's no way of replacing the gateway since we do the authentication, throttling, etc using synapse handlers. Here I am not sure about your use case of using nginx but what you can do is you can use nginx endpoint when you create the API or on the other way around you can route nginx traffic to API Gateway (you need to fix the API endpoints appearing in the API manager store view to point to nginx). Basically API layer need to be on top of service layer.
I 'm looking for a tool to host and publish APIs documentation so
that users of the api can browse it and test it right from the
documentation web page
If i got it correctly, you need a API store only to host your APIs.You can try enterprise store The documentation can be found here
We are already using mule ESB in our infrastructure. Can API manager of WSO2 use mule ESB as API gateway instead of WSO2 ESB. If YEs, Can somebody please help me with Steps.
I have doubt how to achieve throttling and Rate limiting features of API manager in mule ESB if replaced and how seamless integration is?
This is possible due to the pluggable architecture of WSO2 API Manager, but this is not straight forward. The Gateway component of the API Manager handles Token Validation, Throttling, Caching and Mediation. Of these features Token Validation is configurable out of the box with any external Token Validating component since it uses Web service calls since it has a Web Service interface. The other 3 features will require customization at code level in order to function with Mule ESB. Therefore this is not the most recommended approach.
WSO2 API Manager can be used without an external ESB instance out of the box. So that would be the best way to use it.
