API Management

Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) provides a comprehensive set of services to manage the lifecycle of APIs (application programming interfaces). The built-in tools make it easy for developer teams to collaborate on prototyping, testing, and validating APIs. Oracle Cloud Infrastructure API Gateway provides integration, acceleration, governance, and security for API and SOA-based systems, enabling teams to manage and deliver web APIs securely. In addition, usage plans and subscriptions allow API operators to monitor and monetize APIs.

API Gateway overview (7:42)
  • Increased Agility

    Innovate quickly to increase efficiency and bump up your bottom line.

  • Greater Visibility

    Have a clear view of your APIs and their performance.

  • Improved Security

    Ensure the most up-to-date security policies are in place.

Build and secure APIs and web applications

Describe APIs with OpenAPI—create, deploy, operate, and protect APIs as well as web/mobile applications with policies.

Design

Prototype APIs easily

Developers can choose from a wide range of tools to create API descriptions in OpenAPI format which is supported by OCI API Gateway.

OpenAPI support

Support for the widely recognized OpenAPI standard enables third-party developers to easily adopt your organization’s APIs.

Improve efficiency in the design process

With stock response API support via OCI API Gateway, an API description can be quickly prototyped and tested by development teams. Having early feedback can help the team eliminate risk in writing the code.

Update API code directly from the OCI console

You can use Code Editor to quickly edit API specifications directly within the OCI console. Code Editor comes with Git integration, automatic versioning, personalization, and built-in integration with OCI services.
