Objective
To describe all areas required to support the API Management platform Apigee at UCSB, and the responsible people for each area. The platform consists of two main tools - the developer portal, and the gateway, both described below.
Developer Portal (https://developer.ucsb.edu/): used for API discovery, and requests. API users sign up for the developer portal, create an App, and request access to APIs for their app. An API key is given to them to be able to access the APIs. The API team has developed access request forms to manage the API publishing and API access requests and record the decisions. The API team has developed standards and guidelines for API use by employees, and by students.
Gateway (https://login.apigee.com/login): used for API publishing, execution, and statistics. Gateway accounts require Apigee license. Users publish APIs, grant API access to Apps, have access to Apigee reports in the gateway to troubleshoot errors and to view API usage statistics.
