The Apigee UI is a graphical user interface that you can use to manage the lifecycle of your APIs. You can use the Apigee UI to develop and deploy your API proxies, trace their execution, view API analytics, and manage other aspects of your Apigee organization and its environments. You can access the Apigee UI in the Google Cloud console, making it easier to access and manage Apigee while working with other Google Cloud resources.
Using the Apigee UI, you can:
- Build an API proxy
- Deploy and undeploy API proxies to your cluster
- Create, edit, and delete environments and environment groups
- Assign environment-level access control to users
- Work with target servers, KVMs, and shared flows
Use the Apigee UI in Cloud console
To open the Apigee UI in the Google Cloud console, go to the Apigee API management page.
From the Overview page, you can:
- Get started as a new Apigee user
- Test your Apigee runtime
- View key resource usage metrics
- Explore Apigee API management features
Get started as a new Apigee user
If you just are new to Apigee, you can begin your API management journey with quickstart learning options launched from the Overview page:
