Celigo’s API Management solution delivers a robust, scalable, and secure platform that’s easy to use, covering the full API lifecycle—from building and securing to socializing and monitoring—to ensure seamless management and optimization of APIs at scale. With the introduction of API Builder, Celigo accelerates API development and composite service creation through its low-code approach, making it easier for businesses to build and deploy APIs.
API Builder: A Game-Changer for API Development
The solution includes over 40 pre-built policies for API security, transformation, and performance, empowering businesses to manage APIs confidently while maintaining high performance and data integrity. Celigo has enhanced its API Management offering by building on top of Gravitee’s proven technology, combining the strengths of both platforms to provide a comprehensive and intuitive solution.
What is API Builder?
With API Builder, Celigo customers can now create mission-critical APIs within the Celigo platform, enabling them to securely share critical data—such as pricing, SKUs, and inventory information—with customers and partners. This supports data-as-a-service initiatives, powering new digital experiences, improving customer satisfaction, and opening new revenue channels.
How Does API Builder Work?
API Builder extends Celigo’s familiar builder paradigm to support composite services through an intuitive, low-code interface that simplifies the design and configuration of APIs, reducing development time and improving accuracy. Its “API Request” and “API Response” nodes handle communication in and out of the API, powered by an innovative API engine that delivers near-instantaneous response times. Once built, APIs can be pushed directly to the API Management console, streamlining deployment and management.
What are the Benefits of API Builder?
The release of API Builder represents a major step forward for Celigo and its customers, said Mark Simon, VP of Strategy at Celigo. “By offering full lifecycle API management, we are empowering businesses to build APIs that they can securely share with partners and customers — all in one platform, maintaining complete visibility and control over their APIs. Companies are increasingly looking to offer their B2B customers and suppliers multiple options to connect their data; this gives Celigo customers a best-in-class option to publish APIs with the Celigo platform, in addition to connecting to those partners’ APIs or leveraging EDI.”
How Can API Builder Help Businesses?
Celigo’s comprehensive API Management solution covers the entire API lifecycle:
- Build: Create APIs using an intuitive, low-code graphical interface (API Builder).
- Secure: Protect APIs with robust security and access controls, including over 40 security and transformation policies.
- Socialize: Expose APIs to partners and customers through a centralized portal.
- Monitor: Gain real-time insights into API performance and usage.
A Modern, Best-of-Breed Platform
Celigo’s combination of API building and management in a single platform sets it apart by providing a seamless, end-to-end experience for businesses. Unlike standalone solutions that require separate platforms for building and managing APIs—leading to higher costs and complexity—Celigo offers a unified platform that supports every integration pattern, including application integration, B2B integration, and API management.
