You have data, you have services, and you want to develop new business solutions quickly, both internally and externally.

With Apigee, you can build API proxies—RESTful, HTTP-based APIs that interact with your services. With easy-to-use APIs, developers can be more productive, increasing your speed to market.

API proxies give you the full power of Apigee's API platform to secure API calls, throttle traffic, mediate messages, control error handling, cache things, build developer portals, document APIs, analyze API traffic data, make money on the use of your APIs, protect against bad bots, and more.

The first practical step in using Apigee is building API proxies. Whether you start with a hello world API proxy or dive in with OAuth security, Node.js, caching, conditional routing, and so on, proxies are the foundation of building out your API program to share with internal and external developers.

After you build API proxies, you're ready to set up access controls, register developers and apps, generate API keys, and publish your APIs on developer portals.

With traffic flowing through your API proxies, it's time to analyze API traffic with charts and reports. Analyzing API traffic is a critical step in fine tuning and troubleshooting your APIs.

Install and manage Edge in your own cloud environment, where you control the system components' configuration, including load balancers, routers, message processors, databases, and identity providers.
Apigee Sense protects your APIs from unwanted request traffic, including attacks from malicious clients. Using Sense analysis, you can identify clients making unwanted requests, then take action to allow, block, or flag those requests.
