API management

API management is a process that allows an enterprise to create, supervise, and control Application Program Interfaces (APIs) in a scalable and secure environment. Its goal is to ensure that the needs of developers and applications that may use the API are met, and it also allows the enterprise to monitor the lifecycle of the API. An enterprise uses APIs to display its data and add a digital layer to customer, employee, and partner interactions. So managing it is an important process because it enables developers and enterprises to secure, scale, control, analyze, and monetize APIs. The importance of API management has increased due to the increasing number of businesses that rely on it and the administrative complexities that APIs introduce. To be used properly, APIs require strong documentation, increased levels of security, extensive testing, and high reliability.
