Key Features to Replicate
Top features across 8 categories. See all 17 features
Security(4 features)
Create APIs that support cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) for web page interoperability
Secure APIs using JSON Web Tokens provided by Oracle Identity Cloud Service, Okta, Auth0, and other third-party identity providers
Used as a common enforcement point for apps and APIs as well as a means to proxy authentication for applications unable to support the OpenID Connect flows directly
Rate limiting for APIs can throttle traffic to back-end services, controlling exposure to the internet and protecting against denial-of-service attacks
API Design(3 features)
Developers can choose from a wide range of tools to create API descriptions in OpenAPI format
Support for the widely recognized OpenAPI standard to describe and create APIs, enabling third-party developers to easily adopt organization APIs
API descriptions can be quickly prototyped and tested by development teams with early feedback capabilities
Deployment(3 features)
Highly available virtual network appliance that can receive API calls at scale and route them to OCI back-end services, such as load balancers, compute, Kubernetes, and serverless functions
API developers can restrict API access within a private network (a regional subnet) or enable API access from the internet based on application requirements
Serverless APIs using OCI API Gateway and Oracle Functions can automatically scale up and scale down resources based on demand, eliminating infrastructure operations
Development Tools(2 features)
Edit API specifications directly within the OCI console with Git integration, automatic versioning, personalization, and built-in integration with OCI services
SDK integration for APIs on API Gateway to simplify client development
Monetization(2 features)
API managers can manage subscriptions and entitlements, enabling API consumers to subscribe to APIs
API managers can create usage plans within API Gateway and define API access tiers
Analytics(1 features)
API teams can monitor the traffic and analytics of their APIs based on the usage plan and subscriptions to analyze usage patterns and unlock new revenue streams by monetizing APIs
API Management(1 features)
Validate API requests to ensure they meet specified requirements
Performance(1 features)
Cache API responses to improve performance and reduce backend load
