Secure REST API Platform
Ship authenticated APIs with rate limiting and OpenAPI docs in minutes
Stop building authentication, rate limiting, and documentation from scratch. API Gateway gives you a production-ready REST API platform with built-in security, usage controls, and auto-generated OpenAPI specs.
Trusted by development teams worldwide
Built-in features that scale with your API
Request & Response Validation
Automatically validate incoming requests and outgoing responses against your schema definitions. Catch errors before they reach your handlers and ensure data integrity across your API with built-in JSON Schema validation.
Real-Time Analytics
Monitor endpoint performance, track usage patterns, and identify bottlenecks with comprehensive analytics. View request volumes, response times, error rates, and user behavior in real-time dashboards.
Versioning & Deprecation
Manage multiple API versions simultaneously with automatic routing and deprecation warnings. Roll out breaking changes safely while maintaining backward compatibility for existing clients.
Custom Middleware Pipeline
Extend functionality with custom middleware for logging, transformation, caching, or any business logic. Compose middleware chains that run before and after your handlers with full TypeScript support.
Webhook Management
Configure and manage outgoing webhooks with automatic retries, signature verification, and delivery tracking. Keep external systems in sync with your API events reliably and securely.
Multi-Region Deployment
Deploy your API to multiple regions with automatic failover and intelligent routing. Reduce latency for global users and ensure high availability with built-in redundancy and load balancing.
Developer Portal
Provide your API consumers with a self-service portal for key management, usage monitoring, and support. Customize branding, documentation, and onboarding flows to match your product experience.
Audit Logs & Compliance
Maintain complete audit trails of all API access and configuration changes. Meet compliance requirements with tamper-proof logs, data retention policies, and exportable reports for SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA.
Everything you need to run secure APIs
Secure your endpoints with OAuth 2.0, JWT tokens, and API keys out of the box. Role-based access control and fine-grained permissions ensure only authorized users can access your resources. No third-party auth services required.
Protect your infrastructure with configurable rate limits per endpoint, user, or API key. Real-time monitoring and automatic throttling prevent abuse while maintaining performance for legitimate traffic. Set custom rules in seconds.
Interactive API documentation generated automatically from your endpoints. Keep docs in sync with your code, explore endpoints with built-in testing tools, and share beautiful, always-current documentation with your team and customers.
From zero to production in three steps
- 01
Connect your API
Point your REST endpoints to API Gateway with a single configuration file. Our CLI automatically detects your routes and generates a secure gateway in seconds. No code changes required—just deploy and go.
- 02
Configure authentication & limits
Set up OAuth 2.0, JWT, or API key authentication in minutes. Define rate limits per endpoint, user, or plan. Our dashboard gives you granular control over who accesses what, with real-time monitoring and alerts.
- 03
Ship with auto-generated docs
API Gateway scans your endpoints and generates beautiful OpenAPI 3.0 documentation automatically. Interactive examples, request/response schemas, and authentication flows—all kept in sync as your API evolves.
# Install the API Gateway CLI npm install -g @apigateway/cli # Initialize your project apigateway init my-api cd my-api # Define your first endpoint cat > routes/users.js << EOF export default { 'GET /users': { auth: 'required', rateLimit: '100/hour', handler: async (req) => { return { users: await db.users.findAll() } } } } EOF # Deploy to production apigateway deploy --env production # Your API is live with auth, rate limits, and docs! # https://your-api.gateway.dev/docsPricing

Financial Services
FinTech startup scales to 10M requests/day
Challenge
PayFlow needed to secure their payment API and handle explosive growth without hiring a dedicated infrastructure team. Their legacy auth system couldn't scale, and rate limiting was causing customer complaints.
Solution
Migrated to API Gateway in one weekend. Implemented tiered rate limits per customer plan and added OAuth 2.0 authentication. The auto-generated docs reduced support tickets by 60% as developers could self-serve integration.
Results
Now processing 10 million requests daily with 99.99% uptime. Customer onboarding time dropped from 3 days to 2 hours. The team saved $120K annually by eliminating their custom auth infrastructure.

E-commerce
E-commerce platform cuts API costs by 40%
Challenge
ShopCore was spending over $200K yearly on API infrastructure. Their homegrown rate limiting caused frequent outages during flash sales, and they had no visibility into which endpoints were being abused by bad actors.
Solution
Deployed API Gateway with intelligent rate limiting and real-time analytics. Set up tiered access for partners and implemented automatic DDoS protection. The OpenAPI docs reduced partner integration time from weeks to days.
Results
Infrastructure costs dropped 40% in the first quarter. Zero downtime during Black Friday handling 50K requests/second. Partner integrations now complete in 3 days instead of 3 weeks, accelerating revenue growth.

Healthcare
Healthcare API achieves HIPAA compliance
Challenge
MedConnect needed to expose patient data via API while meeting strict HIPAA requirements. Their security audit revealed gaps in authentication logging and they lacked granular access controls for different provider types.
Solution
Implemented API Gateway with comprehensive audit logging and role-based access control. Every API call is logged with full traceability. Set up multi-factor authentication for sensitive endpoints and automated compliance reporting.
Results
Passed HIPAA audit with zero findings. Reduced security incident response time from hours to minutes with detailed access logs. Now serving 500+ healthcare providers with complete confidence in data security.

SaaS
SaaS company launches public API in 2 weeks
Challenge
DataSync wanted to launch a public API to attract enterprise customers, but their engineering team was underwater with product work. Building auth, docs, and rate limiting from scratch would take 6 months they didn't have.
Solution
Wrapped existing internal APIs with API Gateway. Auto-generated OpenAPI docs became their developer portal. Implemented tiered pricing with automatic rate limit enforcement. Launched public beta in just 14 days with a 2-person team.
Results
Signed 12 enterprise customers in the first quarter, adding $480K ARR. Developer satisfaction score of 9.2/10 thanks to excellent documentation. The API became their fastest-growing revenue channel.
