When api is created via tyk gateway api, api_id is empty

• Environment: On-prem

Describe the bug When a new API is created by gateway api /tyk/apis, api_id field is not generated by tyk gateway. It seems api json file is generated with the name ${api_id}.json in /opt/tyk-gateway/appsdir. But because of emptyapi_id, only one file -.jsonfile is always generated for any api creation. It means I can only create one API because the latter api is overwriting.json` file with its spec.

I can pass api_id in the POST request data when create a new api but api_id should be generated by gateway uniquely, i think.

Reproduction steps Create a new api without api_id field in POST request data.

Expected behavior api_id should be generated by api_gateway and it should be returned as response data.

Configuration (tyk config file): Used default config for on-premise tyk-gateway.

@cuttingedge1109 this is not actually a bug, since this is the way it was built. The expectation is that, in the OSS GW, the 'api_id' is provided in request payload, and users store internally a mechanism for generating these.

We do the same in our projects where we use the GW (like tyk-operator or Dashboard).

Thanks for raising this up !
