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.

This definition explains what an API proxy is, how policies work, and how to create an API proxy. Additionally, learn how API proxies compare to API gateways.

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.

2020年6月30日 · What Is an API Proxy? An API proxy acts as a gateway between your developers and backend services, although it is limited in its capabilities when compared to an API gateway. It's an intermediary that makes requests on behalf of developers, sitting between application and backend services.

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.

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.

2024年10月28日 · API proxies are necessary for enhancing security, managing traffic, and optimizing API performance by acting as a gateway between clients and backend services. They enable centralized control over authentication, request/response transformations, and monitoring.

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.
