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.
Describe them on OpenAPI—deploy, operate, and protect them with OCI API Gateway.
Developers can choose from a wide range of tools to create API descriptions in OpenAPI format which is supported by OCI API Gateway.
Support for the widely recognized OpenAPI standard enables third-party developers to easily adopt your organization’s APIs.
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.
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.
Oracle API Gateway is a highly available virtual network appliance that can receive API calls at scale and route them to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure back-end services such as load balancers, compute, Kubernetes, and serverless functions.
Based on their application’s requirements, API developers can restrict API access within a private network (a regional subnet) or enable API access from the internet.
Serverless APIs using API Gateway and Oracle Functions can automatically scale-up and scale-down resources based on demand, thereby eliminating infrastructure operations.
Secure your APIs using JSON Web Tokens provided by Oracle Identity Cloud Service, Okta, Auth0 and other third-party identity providers. Create APIs that support Cross Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) for web page interoperability.
Rate-limiting for APIs can throttle traffic to back-end services, thereby controlling exposure to the Internet and protecting against denial-of-service attacks.
API managers can create usage plans within API Gateway and define API access tiers. Usage plans and subscriptions can be shared with internal user groups and the external developer ecosystem.
API managers can manage subscriptions and entitlements, enabling API consumers to subscribe to APIs.
API teams can monitor the traffic and analytics of their APIs based on the usage plan and subscriptions. This enables customers to analyze usage patterns as well as unlock new revenue streams by monetizing APIs.
Customers across a wide range of industries use Oracle Cloud for API management.
Design and deploy a SaaS extension for Oracle Fusion Applications using Oracle Visual Builder, Oracle Functions, and Oracle API Gateway.
Prepare, design, and prototype APIs by defining application domain semantics and deciding on the API architectural style.
Create a proxy to authenticate with identity providers and provide access to multiple RESTful services both in the cloud and on-premises.
