Create API specifications by describing your requirements
in natural language in Apigee API Design Assistant, a
plugin integrated into
Cloud Code.
Based on the prompt,
Duet AI in Apigee API Management
automatically generates an OpenAPI specification
consistent with the other APIs and compliant with policies
in your enterprise. Additionally, it also provides
recommendations and autocompletes missing elements like
metadata and detailed descriptions.
Consolidate API specifications—built or deployed
anywhere—into API hub. Built on open standards, API hub is
a universal catalog that allows developers to access APIs
and govern them to a consistent quality. Using
autogenerated recommendations provided by
Duet AI in Apigee API hub,
you can create assets like API proxies, integrations, or
even plugin extensions that can be deployed to Vertex AI
or ChatGPT.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Fully managed service to package serverless functions
as REST APIs
Building proof-of-concepts or entry-level API use cases
to package serverless applications running on Google
Cloud
How It Works
Apigee provides an abstraction or facade for your
backend services by fronting services with API
proxies. Using these proxies you can control traffic
to your backend services with granular controls like
security, rate limiting, quotas, and much more.
Use APIs to
build modern applications and architectures
Build API proxies that enable
your applications to access data and functionality
from your Google Cloud back end or any system,
service, or application. Scale your applications
based on demand using load balancing for your
APIs. As you scale, you can unlock greater
business agility by decoupling your monolithic
application into microservices.
Package legacy
applications using RESTful interfaces
Modularize your application
components using API proxies as a gateway for your
legacy systems and microservices. Build API
proxies to create an abstraction layer that
insulates client-facing applications from legacy
backend services and microservices. Using Apigee,
you can reach the scale required for modern cloud
applications while securing traffic to legacy
services.
Publish and
monetize your API products in developer portals
Consolidate APIs built anywhere
into a single place to enable easy access for
developers with API hub. Package multiple APIs or
methods into API products to drive consumption.
Publish these API products in developer portals to
onboard partners or customer developers. Define
comprehensive rate plans to monetize your API
product consumption with any business model.
Use APIs to expose services
that are distributed across any
environment—private data centers or public clouds.
With Apigee hybrid, you can host containerized
runtime services in your own K8S cluster to blend
your legacy and existing systems with ease. This
way, you can adhere to compliance and governance
requirements—while maintaining consistent control
over your APIs and the data they expose.
Implement
security in multiple layers with advanced controls
Security is top priority today.
Google Cloud launched WAAP (Web App and API
Protection) based on the same technology Google
uses to protect its public-facing services against
vulnerabilities, DDoS attacks, fraudulent bot
activity, and API-targeted threats. It combines
three solutions (Apigee, Cloud Armor, and
reCAPTCHA Enterprise) to provide comprehensive
protection against threats.
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.
