2023年4月20日 · When a client sends a request to an API through an API proxy, the proxy forwards the request to the backend API. The API proxy then forwards the corresponding response back to the client. API proxies can improve the API's security, caching, load balancing, rate limiting, and logging functionalities.

2024年12月11日 · What is an API proxy? You expose APIs on Apigee Edge by implementing API proxies. API proxies decouple the app-facing API from your backend services, shielding those apps from backend code changes. As you make backend changes to your services, apps continue to call the same API without any interruption.

2024年2月14日 · An API proxy adds a layer of processing that can slow down API performance. It also introduces a single point of failure. Any API proxy issues or downtime can disrupt your API ecosystem.

An API proxy is a thin API server that exposes a stable interface for an existing service or services. You can create a custom API interface for an application (often a frontend) that interacts with different parts of your backend.

2023年4月25日 · An API proxy is generally a much simpler proxy that forwards API requests from clients to backend APIs, while an API gateway is something that provides more advanced features and a centralized platform to manage multiple APIs.

2024年12月2日 · An API Proxy is a thin abstraction layer that can decouple your API from your backend services and shield your apps from any code changes.

In this article, we'll go over what an API proxy is, the two main types of API proxies, why would you use one, and what is a distributed API proxy.

2025年1月6日 · API proxies simplify API interaction for developers and provide detailed usage analytics. API proxies and gateways have key differences; proxies are simpler, while gateways offer more features. Choosing between a proxy and a gateway involves considering factors like latency, complexity, and cost.

2021年3月30日 · An API proxy acts as a handler between a consumer and backend services. It is a shim (layer of code, which provides compatibility between different interfaces), which handles data transformations, security, routing, and more.
