API Management

A hybrid, multicloud management platform for APIs across all environments.
Overview

Move faster with unified API management

Today's innovative enterprises are adopting API architectures to accelerate growth. Streamline your work across hybrid and multicloud environments with a single place to manage all your APIs.
  • Deploy API gateways side-by-side with the APIs hosted in Azure, other clouds, and on-premises, optimizing API traffic flow. Meet security and compliance requirements while enjoying a unified management experience and full observability across all internal and external APIs.
  • Control how data and services are exposed to employees, partners, and customers by applying authentication, authorization, and usage limits.
  • Build apps faster and deliver immediate value to your customers through API-first approaches. Decouple front- and back-end teams through API mocking, API revisions and versioning, and automated API documentation.

  • Create a customizable developer portal for all your APIs. Easily manage and share APIs with internal teams, external partners, and customers.
  • Automatically turn legacy web services into modern REST-based APIs by creating façades for your back-end services. See how innovators like Vipps, a leading payment service in Norway, are revolutionizing development using Azure API Management.
  • Keep all your APIs behind a single static IP or domain, and help protect them with keys, tokens, and IP filtering. Enhance security further by enforcing flexible and fine-grained quotas and rate limits. Use policies to modify the shape and behavior of your APIs and improve latency and scalability with response caching. Safely integrate on-premises and cloud environments by creating a facade that connects your on-premises APIs to cloud services.
