API-based automation is essential for automation and orchestration solutions due to its direct system integration and complex workflow coordination capabilities.

IBM® Rapid Infrastructure Automation offers robust API integration, supporting low-code and full-code approaches, and scaling effectively with organizational needs. It allows access to existing automation assets, like scripts and playbooks, via API for internal and external tools use. Each deployed IBM Rapid Infrastructure Automation workflow gets an API endpoint, fully manageable within the API Gateway. 

API Gateway is an interface to secure, publish and manage automation workflows and APIs as URL endpoints. The IBM API Gateway offers endpoint management features, enabling precise control over API access based on user, team or role. Its distinct capabilities include regulating API usage, preventing overuse through centralized authentication, and specifying permitted applications, users and networks. This comprehensive solution optimizes security, enhances performance and ensures availability, streamlining API management for modern enterprises.

Benefits
Enhanced security with precise API access control

The API Gateway enhances security and control with precise access management for users, teams, or roles. It addresses the challenges of overuse and inefficient API access by regulating usage, preventing overuse through centralized authentication, and specifying permitted applications, users, and networks.

Optimized API performance and reliable operations

The API Gateway maximizes API performance and reliability by optimizing usage and preventing overuse. Through controlled access, managed usage frequency, and centralized authentication, it ensures consistent and efficient operations to boost system efficiency and reliability across applications and users.

Seamless API changes with minimal downtime

The API Gateway enables seamless API updates without disrupting endpoints, ensuring minimal downtime and fostering innovation. By decoupling APIs from their code and implementation details, it supports agile changes and continuous integration to maintain stable and efficient API operations.

What's included
Control access to API functions

Get precise access control based on users, teams or roles and manage production APIs with usage limits and frequency controls for enhanced security. Centralized authentication prevents misuse by defining access for specific applications, users and networks.

Improve operational stability

Focus on optimizing system reliability and performance through streamlined processes and robust infrastructure management. By enhancing resource allocation, minimizing downtime and implementing proactive monitoring, the API Gateway ensures consistent and efficient operations, supporting seamless business continuity and scalability.
