34. Types of Security
Type Description
API Key The API key scheme authenticates the API Caller from the client ID
and client secret credentials
Basic Basic The Http basic authentication scheme enforces
authentication and authorization at the HTTP message protocol
layer
OAuth 2.0 OAuth 2.0 The OAuth2.0 scheme is a token-based authentication
protocol that allows third-party websites to access user data
without requiring the user to share personal information

35. Analytics
 Analytics are collected from the Gateway and Management servers, and stored within the Management servers
associated with the Management Service
 Received analytics are transformed from the received format prior to storage.
 Analytics data is stored for a period of 90 days.
Analytics information is available through all 3 primary web consoles
 API Manager: portal for the API Developer and Manager to understand the usage of the various APIs.
 Cloud Console: focused on providing operational analytics regarding the systems performance.
 Developer Portal: provides a portal for the App Developer Where analytics can be found

36.  API Strategy & Best Practices

37. API strategy basics
 What is the business objective in making the API available?
 Who is the company sponsor for the API?
 Who will use the API? (Internal staff, partners, or external developers)
 What assets could be made available through an API?
 Who should have access to each type of available asset?
 How should the API make those assets available?
 How do developers discover the API and what applications could be constructed ?
 What will motivate developers to use the API to create applications?
 What support do you provide for the API?
 What pricing model is used for the API?
 How do you measure success?

38. Our API Strategy Principles
 Security Layer
 Caching Layer
 Representation Layer
 Orchestration Layer

39. Multi Layer API Connectivity Approach
 System /Infrastructure API
 Process API
 Experience API
 Third Party APIs / SaaS Applications

42. Best Practices
 Begin the developer Onboarding discussion early in the game. Have discussions with
partner app developers and establish and agree on API Plan versioning and
communication procedures
 For Public consumers understand the use cases and focus on the security
considerations at the earliest opportunity.
 Runtime components that store data or data sources must always be in the secure
zone. These must be protected by Enterprise security appliances or servers. Secure the
Portal Server using the DataPower Web Application Firewall

43. Best Practices ..Contd
 Understand early on what Runtime Environments and Developer/Management
Environments will be required for the API Cloud.
 API Success requires the integration of API development cycles with the overall
enterprise devops processes
 API Monitoring: Integrate with Enterprise System Level Monitoring
 An Infrastructure that can be dynamically scaled and configured based on API usage
will be critical for success
