The document outlines the WSO2 API Management Platform, detailing the nature of APIs as contracts between consumers and providers, and their essential attributes. It discusses API security, including authentication, authorization, and rate limiting, as well as the platform's capabilities for analytics and governance. Additionally, it emphasizes the platform's adaptability and role as a hub for innovation and growth in API integration.

4. APributes of an API Pla7orm
• Adapts to surrounding environment.
• Allows building on the pla7orm’s core values to create new value
for consumers.
• Is a hub for innovaSon.
• A catalysts for growth.

6. API Security
• AuthenScaSon - Valid OAuth 2.0 Token
• AuthorizaSon - OAuth “scope”
• Single Sign On
• Social Logins
• User Account Management

7. Advanced API Security

8. Rate LimiSng
• To protect your back-end systems/services
• Defining “quotas” to moneSze your APIs.
• Fair Usage across all ApplicaSon users
• Advanced Policies
– Rate limiSng by Geography, Device Type, etc
– BlacklisSng

10. APIs and the IntegraSon Pla7orm

11. APIs: Composing Them
• CreaSng a simple API for device specific composiSon
• PaginaSng, Filtering (making things smaller)
• Batching requests, PopulaSng a new Data Structure (making
things bigger)
• Inlining References
