How to create an API gate connection?

I need to upload files to a 3rd party via API. I have my infor application creating a cvs file to upload via SxFileTransport BOD. I was thinking I could setup a workflow with this API. I have setup the 3rd party in the API Gateway. I have gotten a start, but I have questions and of course documentation is scare. The third party has given me a connection point, Oauth 2 connectivity credentials and to post endpoints to upload files. I feel like somewhere in the API setup I need to list or reference those endpoints. Anyone have any documentation to lead me down the path further?

Brad - Is there documentation (swagger 2.0 or OpenAPI Specifications 3.0 or 3.1) available for the endpoint? Swagger doc must exist to have the ability to select the endpoints in ION, whether a Connection Point or Workflow API. It is pretty easy to create swagger doc, but I found a lot of 3rd parties may already have that available. You can upload swagger doc to your endpoint, as seen below.

Hi Brad. basic steps are to setup a Suite to represent the 3P API endpoint, security, interfaces/methods it has.

As Brandon notes, having the Open API specs to import is needed.

Consider if there are any whitelist that the 3P requires.

Once setup the Suite you can test your 3P Suite with Postman to see it connect through the gateway to the 3P.

Setup your ION Connection Points and Data Flow and you should be good to go.
