## Which IIQ version are you inquiring about? 8.4p2 I wanted to make a custom plugin to expose an API. I saw a video from sailpoint showing how to do it. Video made it look very easy. But i find myself in trouble of finding a template of project for IntelliJ to create such plugin. Is there are template source code provided? (the one form video is already built plugin) Video here: [Developing custom APIs through the plugin framework](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0QoodWSb_U) ---

There is a IIQ Plugins Course in Identity University. Along with the course, they will provide one documentation. You can go through that course. It will help you to learn Plugin creation. ---

Hi Blazez, It should be easy, just go through that video, and built your plugin to expose the api endpoints. If you are new to plugin development and need help, I have recently built the plugin to expose few endpoints of sailpoint, Ping me in chat, I will share the plugin with you. You can enhance that plugin and built your own. ---
