Developing agents

Develop agents to establish communication between federated API management and runtime.

Agent overview
Agent is the intermediary component responsible for retrieving information from a runtime within your API management landscape and sending it to federated API management.
Agent implementation approaches
Implement an agent for each runtime by using Java™ based SDK (Software Development Kit) or REST APIs offered by federated API management.
Agent deployment modes
Deploy the agent by using either stand-alone mode or embedded mode, depending on your system architecture and integration requirements.
Implementing agents for third-party gateways
Access the Agent SDK and implement agents with managed approach. Learn how to build, deploy, and run the Gradle project manually and through Docker.
