Features
Using Gemini Code Assist in Apigee API ManagementCreate consistent quality APIs without any specialized expertise. Now generally available, Gemini Code Assist in Apigee leverages your organization's API ecosystem through API hub to provide uniquely tailored assistance. Generate OpenAPI specifications from natural language in both Cloud Code and now Gemini Chat with @mention functionality. Benefit from improved Enterprise Context with nested object support and proactive duplicate API prevention. You can further slash development time by generating mock servers for parallel development and collaborate through seamless publishing to API hub. Gemini Code Assist in Apigee is available as part of the Gemini Code Assist Enterprise subscription.
Universal catalog for your APIsConsolidate API specifications—built or deployed anywhere—into API hub. Built on open standards, API hub is a universal catalog that allows developers to access APIs and govern them to a consistent quality. Using autogenerated recommendations provided by Gemini, you can create assets like API proxies, integrations, or even plugin extensions that can be deployed to Vertex AI or ChatGPT.
Automated API Security with ML based abuse detection High-performance API proxiesOrchestrate and manage traffic for demanding applications with unparalleled control and reliability. Apigee supports styles like REST, gRPC, SOAP, and GraphQL, providing flexibility to implement any architecture. Using Apigee, you can also proxy internal microservices managed in a service mesh as REST APIs to enhance security.

Traffic management and control policiesApigee uses policies on API proxies to program API behavior without writing any code. Policies provided by Apigee allow you to add common functionality like security, rate limiting, transformation, and mediation. You can configure from a robust set of 50+ policies to gain control on behavior, traffic, security, and QoS of every API. You can even write custom scripts and code (such as JavaScript applications) to extend API functionality.
Add your first policy to your API

How It Works
Apigee provides an abstraction or facade for your backend services by fronting services with API proxies. Using these proxies you can control traffic to your backend services with granular controls like security, rate limiting, quotas, and much more.
Common Uses
Cloud-first application development Tutorials, quickstarts, & labsUse APIs to build modern applications and architectures
Build API proxies that enable your applications to access data and functionality from your Google Cloud back end or any system, service, or application. Scale your applications based on demand using load balancing for your APIs. As you scale, you can unlock greater business agility by decoupling your monolithic application into microservices.

Become an Apigee innovatorAPIs enable seamless communication between applications, servers, and users in today's tech-driven world. As their numbers grow, API management has become crucial, encompassing design, development, testing, deployment, governance, security, monitoring, and monetization within the software development life cycle.
RESTful APIs adhere to REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture constraints. Following these architecture constraints enables APIs to offer scalability, speed, and data versatility. An API of this kind accesses data by using HTTP requests and is the most common type of API used in modern applications today.
What makes Apigee different from other API management solutions?Apigee is Google Cloud’s fully managed API management solution. Trusted by enterprises across the globe, Apigee is developer-friendly and provides comprehensive capabilities to support diverse API architectural styles, deployment environments, and use cases. Apigee also provides flexible pricing options for every business to get started and become successful on the platform.
Which API protocols does Apigee support?Apigee currently supports REST, SOAP, GraphQL, gRPC, or OpenAPI protocols.
Why should you secure your APIs?Companies worldwide rely on application programming interfaces, or APIs, to facilitate digital experiences and unleash the potential energy of their own data and processes. But the proliferation and importance of APIs comes with a risk. As a gateway to a wealth of information and systems, APIs have become a favorite target for hackers. Due to the prevalence of such attacks, there is a need for a proactive approach to secure APIs.
What makes an API secure?Apigee helps organizations stay ahead of security threats by offering protection in three layers:
1. Robust policies that protect every API transaction from unauthorized users.
2. Advanced API security provides automated controls to identify API misconfigurations, malicious bot attacks, and anomalous traffic patterns without overhead and alert fatigue. Web application and API security based on the same technology used by Google to protect its public-facing services against web application vulnerabilities, DDoS attacks, fraudulent bot activity, and API-targeted threats. Google Cloud WAAP combines three solutions (Apigee, Cloud Armor, and reCAPTCHA Enterprise) to provide comprehensive protection against threats and fraud.
