3scale

3scale is an API management tool, now part of the Red Hat product range. It helps organisations share their APIs with outside users while keeping control over who can use them and how heavily.

What 3scale offers

• API sharing — makes APIs available to developers, partners and other consumers.
• Access control — manages who may call each interface.
• Rate limits — caps how often each user can call an API.
• Performance analytics — reports on how the interfaces are being used.
