It is not really clear what level of services you have in mind.

What concerns of creating service mediations (implementing integration patters), you can do everything from the admin console (create a proxy or api). I do it often for prototyping. Everything what you could see to be done in the WSO2 Developer Studio (Eclipse plugin), you can do manually too.

what would be the best way to develop complex API?

What is a complex API for you? The ESB (EI) is not intended to do very complex business logic, execute long running tasks or .. well.. anything you rather may create a separate service or application. You wouldn't want to build an accounting application with it. Not that it is not possible, but not really feasible.

Answer 2

Yes, this is certainly possible. You can create an API in the management console of the Enterprise Integrator / Enterprise Service Bus. This is great for quickly building or testing something.

You can do this by Going to API's in the menu on the left once having logged into the management console and simple clicking Add API

However in the long run you might want to develop using an IDE or some text editor and then deploying to the Integrator. This makes it easier to control deployments, Versions of API's etc/

Answer 3

Yes, using the API publisher UI you can create APIs.
