Add transactions from the blueprints library

Use the Blueprints Library to jump-start your service virtualization with templates for popular APIs. This approach is useful when you want a ready-made set of transactions for common providers or scenarios instead of building transactions from scratch.

Follow these steps:

1. Go to the Service virtualization tab and click Asset catalog > Blueprints.
   The Blueprints Library catalog opens, showing available API blueprints.
2. Filter by category or search by keyword to find a blueprint that matches your needs. Then click Add to Catalog.
3. Assign the transactions to a service:
   • Either click Create new service and enter a name.
   • Or click Add to existing service and select a target service.
4. Click Add to Catalog to close the dialog.
5. Under Asset Catalog > Transactions, select your service. Filter by tag if needed.
   You see new transactions added to your service.
6. Review the generated transactions in the service and adjust matchers or responses as needed.

The selected blueprint has created reusable transactions in your service that you add to virtual services to validate API behavior.
