Do You Use the Runtime or Design-time URL?

Which URL you use when calling APIs in Oracle Integration depends on your use case. You can find both the Runtime URL and Design-time URL in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.

When to Use the Runtime and Design-time URL

Use the Runtime URL if your client is going to call both integration endpoints and Oracle Integration Developer APIs.
Use the Design-time URL if your client is going to call only the Oracle Integration Developer APIs.

Get the Runtime and Design-time URL

You must be the OCI tenant and domain administrator to access the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.

Sign in to the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Console.
Open the navigation menu and click Developer Services. Under Application Integration, click Integration.
Click a specific instance name. The Details page is displayed. You'll see the Design-time and Runtime URLs.

Get the Design-time URL from the Service Console URL

You can also find out the Design-time URL from the Service Console URL that you use to access the user interface.

Copy the Service Console URL into a browser window.
When the login page of the integration instance displays, the URL changes starting with the word design. For example:
Example:
```
https://design.integration.region.ocp.oraclecloud.com/?integrationInstance=NameOfServiceInstance
```

The first part of the URL https://design.integration.region.ocp.oraclecloud.com is your Design-time URL and the rest of the URL integrationInstance=NameOfServiceInstance contains the name of the service instance.

Get the Runtime URL from the Service Console URL

You can also get the Runtime URL from the Service Console URL. Replace design with the service instance name and you have the Runtime URL. For example: https://NameOfServiceInstance.integration.region.ocp.oraclecloud.com
