[ptw044]

Hi Team,

I am trying consume API from Success Factor in UI application but whenever I run UI5 Application in browser, application is not displaying data .

I have followed below link to consume API from API business hub but in the this document step:10 :.env file is not generating in BAS when we click on Configure Environment option.

https://help.sap.com/viewer/584e0bcbfd4a4aff91c815cefa0bce2d/Cloud/en-US/54ce98a4f9cf454e8b18224623c...

I checked network tab and was getting below error

"Failed to resolve API Key variable request.header.apikey"

Can please tell me where to pass API key in the application and attach developer tutorial link for consuming API from API business hub in the BAS.

Hi Prakash,

I am getting the same issue when I am trying to consume the API from SAP BAS.

Normally, when you deploy the application to the Cloud account, your application would need destination service ( destination carrying API hub info) to connect back to it.

However in case of local development, the .env file has to be appended with the API key ( the secure personal key for each user given out by SAP API business hub).

In the project template development, the template requires us to fill out the SAP API Business hub user and Password but not the API key( which has to be added in the .env file, after which you can access the hub without any destination).

Please let me know when the issue gets resolved or if you get any work-around for this.

Thanks

Hi Prakash,

Can you share details on how you created your Fiori app? Did you use the Fiori generator launched from the Service Centre as Yuval mentions above?

Also, please share details on what command you are using to launch the Fiori app.

Ian
