Managing the application programming interfaces means analyzing, controlling, and distributing the APIs that connect your software to other applications, either on-premises or in the cloud. Organizations often create their own APIs to connect different pieces of in-house software and thus create infrastructure inside the organization or to pair in-house software with third-party software.
Either way, application programming interface management means controlling all the APIs used by particular software, taking care of their security, usage, and lifecycles.
The most important components of API management are:
- Gateways
- Lifecycles
- Developer portal
- API analytics
