What is IBM API Management

About IBM API Management Product

Create, socialize, secure and manage APIs on premise


IBM API Management externalizes business assets with tools to create, manage, and socialize web application programming interfaces (API)—on premise or on the cloud. It includes capabilities for building, establishing proxies, managing, securing and scaling APIs.

IBM API Management provides detailed analytics and operational metrics to understand API usage as well as a developer portal to socialize APIs for use by internal and external consumers.

IBM API Management provides value for each key user in the API economy:

  • Application Developers can easily find, understand, and consume the API, and are able to manage their application and its consumption.
  • API Developers can rapidly define and assemble SOAP and REST APIs and services for internal or external consumption through a single console.
  • API Business Owners can customize their developer portal with their branding to advertise, market, socialize and sell APIs.
  • API Providers can manage access by creating custom roles and specifying permissions for each role.
  • IT Managers can easily manage and upgrade the API environment to use existing investments in IBM DataPower Gateway with the ability to monitor and scale without disruption to service.
