1

Custom Inbound Port

APIG allows you to customize inbound ports for gateways so that clients can access different backend services through different ports.

Custom Inbound Port

2

Gateway access control policies

APIG provides access control policies to gateways. You can set an IP address blacklist or whitelist to forbid or allow an IP address to access a gateway.

1

Response Cache

You can configure a response cache policy to cache responses returned by the backend service (server) in APIG. When a client sends the same request, APIG does not need to send the request to the backend service but directly returns the cached response. This effectively reduces the backend load and API invoking latency.

2

Orchestration Rule Management

APIG supports API parameter orchestration. You can configure different algorithm rules to map new request parameters and values.

1

Unescaping parameters supported for API request path

You can configure whether to escape the parameters of the API path.

Configuring Parameters

1

gRPC APIs with a function backend

gRPC APIs can use a function backend.

Commercial use

Creating a gRPC API

2

Client request customization

You can customize client request parameters, such as enabling or disabling HTTP/2 and modifying the request body timeout.

Commercial use

Configuring Parameters

1

Support for OpenAPI 3.0

APIs can be imported or exported in compliance with OpenAPI 3.0.

Commercial use

Importing and Exorting APIs

2

API policy cloning

You can quickly create API policies by cloning existing ones. Request throttling and signature key policies cannot be cloned.

Commercial use

Creating a Policy and Binding It to APIs

3

Server-sent events(SSE) transmission

The responses of backend APIs are output in streaming mode for character-based rendering.

Commercial use

Configuring Parameters

1

gRPC supported

If both your client and server are of the gRPC type, you can create an gRPC API to open up your backend capabilities.

Routing gRPC Service Requests

1

gzip compression

Responses can be compressed using gzip to reduce public network traffic.

Commercial use

Configuring Parameters

1

Third-Party Authorizer

You can configure your own service to authenticate API requests. APIG first invokes this service for authentication, and then invokes the backend service after receiving a success response.

Commercial use

Third-Party Authorizer

2

Custom Logs

Whether to enable custom logs. Once enabled, values of specified parameters will be printed in specified locations of calling logs for all APIs in the gateway.

Commercial use

Configuring Parameters

1

Cloning an API

To improve API creation efficiency, you can clone an API with a custom name and path.

Commercial use

Cloning an API

1

Custom authentication headers

You can configure custom headers for app authentication or authentication with HMAC or Basic Auth signature key policies.

Commercial use

Configuring Parameters

2

Frontend HTTPS two-way authentication

CA certificates can be added to verify client certificates. When a client connects to a server, the client verifies the server and the server also verifies the client.

Commercial use

SSL Certificates

1

Microservice load balance channels

Server channels balance the loads of backend services and microservice channels automatically synchronize service node changes.

Commercial use

Load Balance Channels

2

HTTP-to-HTTPS auto redirection

Requests of HTTP backends can be automatically redirected to HTTPS.

Commercial use

3

Gateway tags

Tags classify your dedicated gateways to facilitate search, analysis, and management.
