Video Tutorial


In this video tutorial, Philip Mugglestone provides an overview of SAP API Business Hub where you can discover, explore, and test different types of content to accelerate your integration and extension scenarios.

After a quick overview, the focus is on making full use of SAP API Business Hub to get started with real-world APIs. The video tutorial uses the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Sales Orders API as a typical example and shows how to learn about the API before trying it out – both via the provided SAP API Business Hub sandbox and against a real SAP S/4HANA Cloud system. Finally the tutorial covers how to jumpstart a SAP BTP extension application that makes use of both the SAP S/4HANA Cloud Sales Order API and an example partner-provided API – in this case HERE Location Services.

Over the years, for the SAP HANA Academy, SAP’s Partner Innovation Lab, and à titre personnel, I have written a little over 300 posts here for the SAP Community. Some articles only reached a few readers. Others attracted quite a few more. For your reading pleasure and convenience, here is a curated list of posts which somehow managed to pass the 10k-view milestone and, as sign of current interest, still tickle the counters each month.
