Features

High-performance API proxies

Orchestrate and manage traffic for demanding applications with unparalleled control and reliability. Apigee supports styles like REST, gRPC, SOAP, and GraphQL, providing flexibility to implement any architecture. Using Apigee, you can also proxy internal microservices managed in a service mesh as REST APIs to enhance security.

Automated API Security with ML based abuse detection

Use Advanced API Security to protect your APIs from misconfigurations, malicious bot attacks, and critical abuses. Advanced API Security assesses managed APIs regularly, surfaces API proxies that do not meet security standards, and provides recommended actions when issues are detected. ML-powered dashboards accurately identify critical API abuses by finding patterns within the large number of bot alerts, reducing the time to act on important incidents.

Get started with Advanced API Security.

Built-in and custom API analytics dashboards

Use built-in dashboards to investigate spikes, improve performance, and identify improvement opportunities by analyzing critical information from your API traffic. Build custom dashboards to analyze API quality and developer engagement to make informed decisions.

Start gaining insights from your APIs.

Traffic management and control policies

Apigee uses policies on API proxies to program API behavior without writing any code. Policies provided by Apigee allow you to add common functionality like security, rate limiting, transformation, and mediation. You can configure from a robust set of 50+ policies to gain control on behavior, traffic, security, and QoS of every API. You can even write custom scripts and code (such as JavaScript applications) to extend API functionality.

Add your first policy to your API.

Developer portals integrated into API life cycle

Bundle individual APIs or resources into API products—a logical unit that can address a specific use case for a developer. Publish these API products in out-of-the-box integrated developer portals or customized experiences built on Drupal. Drive adoption of your API products with easy onboarding of partners/developers, secure access to your APIs, and engaging experiences without any administrative overhead.

Onboard developers to your APIs.

Near real-time API monitoring

Investigate every detail of your API transaction within the console or in any distributed tracing solution by debugging an API proxy flow. Isolate problem areas quickly by monitoring their performance or latency. Use Advanced API Operations to identify anomalous traffic patterns and get notified on unpredictable behaviors without any alert fatigue or overheads.

Hybrid/multicloud deployments

Achieve the architectural freedom to deploy your APIs anywhere—in your own data center or public cloud of your choice—by configuring Apigee hybrid. Host and manage containerized runtime services in your own Kubernetes cluster for greater agility and interoperability while managing APIs consistently with Apigee.

Universal catalog for all APIs

Use API hub to consolidate APIs—built or deployed anywhere—into a single source of truth. Built on open standards, API hub allows developers to access APIs and their related information in one place. Once cataloged, you can govern all APIs to a consistent quality with self-service tools or linter of your choice.

Get started with API hub.

API monetization

Create rate plans for your API products to monetize your API channels. Implementing business models of any complexity by configuring billing, payment model, or revenue share with granular details.

FAQ

APIs enable seamless communication between applications, servers, and users in today's tech-driven world. As their numbers grow, API management has become crucial, encompassing design, development, testing, deployment, governance, security, monitoring, and monetization within the software development life cycle.

RESTful APIs adhere to REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture constraints. Following these architecture constraints enables APIs to offer scalability, speed, and data versatility. An API of this kind accesses data by using HTTP requests and is the most common type of API used in modern applications today.

Apigee is Google Cloud’s fully managed API management solution. Trusted by enterprises across the globe, Apigee is developer-friendly and provides comprehensive capabilities to support diverse API architectural styles, deployment environments, and use cases. Apigee also provides flexible pricing options for every business to get started and become successful on the platform.

Apigee currently supports REST, SOAP, GraphQL, gRPC, or OpenAPI protocols.

Companies worldwide rely on application programming interfaces, or APIs, to facilitate digital experiences and unleash the potential energy of their own data and processes. But the proliferation and importance of APIs comes with a risk. As a gateway to a wealth of information and systems, APIs have become a favorite target for hackers. Due to the prevalence of such attacks, there is a need for a proactive approach to secure APIs.

Apigee helps organizations stay ahead of security threats by offering protection in three layers:

1. Robust policies that protect every API transaction from unauthorized users.

2. Advanced API security provides automated controls to identify API misconfigurations, malicious bot attacks, and anomalous traffic patterns without overhead and alert fatigue. Web application and API security based on the same technology used by Google to protect its public-facing services against web application vulnerabilities, DDoS attacks, fraudulent bot activity, and API-targeted threats. Google Cloud WAAP combines three solutions (Apigee, Cloud Armor, and reCAPTCHA Enterprise) to provide comprehensive protection against threats and fraud.
