A Next-Generation, Customizable API Hub for Government

Accelerate Digital Innovation with RapidAPI Enterprise Hub

APIs are at the heart of digital innovation. But many government agencies struggle to use APIs effectively.

A key challenge is just knowing what APIs exist across the organization, due to organizational silos made worse by disparate infrastructure and tooling across the API development lifecycle. Compounding the issue are the many API types beyond REST and SOAP — GraphQL, Kafka, and gRPC. APIs also span several categories, with internal, partner, and third-party APIs each bringing different requirements.

Legacy API management vendors do not address modern API requirements and lock organizations into their technology. Meeting the needs of today’s diverse API landscape requires a next-generation API hub.

The Right Platform -
RapidAPI Enterprise Hub

With RapidAPI Enterprise Hub, government agencies have a centralized hub for API discovery and collaboration between the internal development teams providing and consuming APIs, and sharing third-party API subscriptions. Additionally, RapidAPI Enterprise Hub enables the creation of a partner API hub complemented by granular access controls.

RapidAPI Enterprise Hub:

Integrates seamlessly with internal systems such as CI/CD pipeline
Supports all of your APIs
Works with any API gateway or management system
Deploys across multi-cloud environments
Provides a dedicated dashboard for managing APIs and ensuring data security, compliance, and adherence to SLAs

Use Case: RapidAPI Enterprise Hub as an Internal API Hub

As development teams grow and split into multiple groups, they form “software silos” with each group responsible for a specific product or technology. Because each team creates their own APIs, there is little visibility into what each team is working on, resulting in code duplication, longer development cycles, and a lack of overall governance.

RapidAPI Enterprise Hub:

Provides a centralized hub for internal collaboration among API providers and API consumers to find, manage, and connect to all APIs across the organization
Creates new efficiencies, accelerating the software development process
Supports all APIs, regardless of gateway or API management tool
Provides governance capabilities that give API administrators enhanced visibility and control over API publishing and consumption

Use Case: RapidAPI Enterprise Hub as a Partner API Hub

Agencies that want to drive innovation by opening up APIs to partners can use RapidAPI Enterprise Hub as a partner API hub. A partner API hub centrally exposes APIs in a branded catalog and enables you to control partners’ access to and usage of your APIs.

Through the partner API hub, you can:

Collaborate with other agencies and organizations to create unique solutions
Deepen partnerships and reduce development cycles for partners who make use of your organization’s APIs
Create stickiness for your agency’s services as partners embed your APIs into the applications they build
Accelerate onboarding time, assign appropriate access and usage controls, and monitor API analytics for partner apps from a single dashboard

RapidAPI Enterprise Hub As a Horizontal Abstraction Layer Above Multiple API Gateways

API gateways are architectural components that sit in front of servers to perform standard functionality required to make APIs ready for real-world use such as traffic management, API key authentication, and request transformation. RapidAPI Enterprise Hub is a single consolidation layer that integrates with multiple API gateways. This integration gives developers a centralized hub to find, connect to, publish, and manage hundreds of APIs, even when each organization and development team is using a different API gateway.
