Application programming interface (API) management refers to the set of processes, tools, and policies that govern and secure the use of APIs in an organization. It comprises on-premises API management, which is deployed in the infrastructure of an organization, providing complete control over the API environment but requiring maintenance and resource allocation. It also consists of cloud-based API management, which is hosted on cloud platforms, offering scalability, flexibility, and reduced infrastructure overhead. It serves as a single entry point for managing and controlling access to APIs and handling tasks, such as authentication, authorization, and traffic management. It also ensures the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted through APIs by implementing measures like encryption, token-based authentication, and access controls. It provides a user-friendly interface for developers to discover, understand, and test APIs. It often includes documentation, code samples, and other resources. It also monitors API usage in real-time, collects performance data, and generates analytics to help organizations make informed decisions and optimize API performance. It manages the onboarding, access, and permissions of developers using the APIs, ensuring compliance with policies and security measures. It governs the entire lifecycle of an API, from design and creation to retirement, ensuring that APIs are continuously updated and aligned with business objectives.
