Overview

API Gateway is a managed service that provides a centralized public entry point for API calls. It enables seamless integration and communication between services, applications, and clients. It is designed to simplify the process of creating, deploying, and managing APIs in a scalable and secure manner.

With the API Gateway, you can monitor API usage, track performance metrics, and generate logs for analysis and troubleshooting. With API Gateway, you can route incoming API requests to the appropriate backend services based on defined routing rules, ensuring efficient communication between clients and services.

You can use IONOS S3 for static web hosting as an upstream for an API Gateway, allowing you to read content stored in the S3 bucket.

API Gateway Access

You can access the API Gateway by using the DCD (a browser-based interface) or REST API Instructions for using the Console and API, which are included in topics throughout this documentation. For a list of available SDKs, see Software Development Kits. For general information about using the API, see REST APIs.
