An API consumer is an application or system that invokes an interface provided by an API provider. An API consumer uses the interface to access or manipulate data or functionality exposed by the API provider. An API consumer can be a web browser, a mobile app, a cloud service, or any other client that can send requests and receive responses from an API provider.

You can use an OData adapter to implement a synchronous call to a remote HTTP API as an integration flow component. An OData adapter allows you to send and receive messages using the OData protocol. OData stands for Open Data Protocol and is a standard for exposing and consuming data over HTTP or HTTPS. You can use an OData adapter to communicate with OData services that support CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on resources.

To split a message that contains recurring child nodes, you can use a General Splitter or an Iterating Splitter. A General Splitter allows you to split a message based on an XPath expression that defines the splitting criteria. An Iterating Splitter allows you to split a message based on an XPath expression that defines the repeating element. Reference: Modernize Integration with SAP Integration Suite | openSAP

To publish a new API product to the API business hub enterprise, you need at least one deployed API proxy as a requirement. An API proxy is an API that acts as an intermediary between an API provider and an API consumer. It can be used to add security, monitoring, caching, transformation, and other features to the API provider. An API product is a bundle of one or more API proxies that are grouped together for a specific business scenario or use case. To create an API product, you need to select one or more deployed API proxies from your API portal and provide some metadata, such as name, title, description, quota limits, and so on. Then you can publish your API product to the API business hub enterprise, which is a centralized platform for discovering, consuming, and managing APIs.
