• Rate Limiting & Quotas: Control API usage with rate limits, quotas, and IP restrictions to optimize performance and prevent abuse.
• Products: Learn how to package and offer APIs to developers through products, with options for open or protected access.
• Subscriptions: Manage access to protected APIs through subscription models, with customizable approval workflows.
• Groups: Effectively manage developer access and visibility using built-in and custom groups:
  • Administrators: Manage the API Management service instance.
  • Developers: Authenticated users who build applications using your APIs.
  • Guests: Unauthenticated users with read-only access.
• Policies: Utilize powerful policies to modify API behavior, including:
  • Format Conversion: Convert data formats (e.g., XML to JSON).
  • Rate Limiting: Restrict the number of API calls.
  • Caching: Improve performance by caching API responses.

Benefits of Using Azure API Management:

• Scalability & Flexibility: Work with any host, API, and effortlessly scale your services.
• Developer Enablement: Attract more developers by providing a clear and accessible API ecosystem.
• Enhanced Security: Secure and optimize your APIs with robust security policies.
