Book an Intro
What is Agama API?
Agama API is an API Management Platform for comprehensive management of services in your organization.
Significantly extending the idea of API Gateway, our platform was designed with a complete production process in mind, from development through monitoring how individual services are used to publication of the necessary documentation.
By combining the technological capacities of Agama API and the knowledge of our consultants, we successfully use our platform not only to ensure compliance with PSD2, but also to build new business value which you can monetize.
The solution’s module-based construction, enhancing its flexibility, ensures the necessary level of freedom for you to adapt the platform to your own needs and optimize the Total Cost of Ownership.
Features
The Agama API was designed as a unique combination of our own solutions and Open Source components. The platform’s features were prepared as containers so that the most popular orchestrators can be used, such as AWS ECS, Open Shift or Kubernetes.
API Manager
BlueSoft specializes in designing robust and scalable cloud architectures tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. This includes architecting solutions for high availability, fault tolerance, and optimal performance in the cloud environment.
API Gateway
The component responsible for sharing API services. As part of the service triggering process, API Gateway communicates using REST services with the API Manager component, with systems managing access inside the organization and with source systems providing data for services. API Gateway module is responsible for:
- Sharing services with TPP partners.
- Registering new versions of services in API Manager.
- Verifying rights to services by communicating with access management systems in the organization and the API Manager.
- Publishing information about service triggers.
Partner/Developer Portal
The Partner/Developer Portal is an application for sharing outside the internal network, performing the following functionalities: Sharing documentation with descriptions of services made available to the partners Registering partners who are interested in establishing cooperation in using API services Sharing a sandbox for testing services in a safe environment with registered partners Sharing information with registered partners concerning their subscriptions to services, statistics of use, billing data, etc. FAQ and support for registered partners.
Rating
A system responsible for calculating the rate for triggering API services. The rating process is based on the following information collected in the API Manager:
- API trigger counters (UsageCounters)
- Data of the triggering subscription, i.e.:
- API service
- Tariff plan API consumer data Upon clearance, the counters of API triggers are automatically propagated to the billing system as clients’ (API consumers’) orders for products corresponding to API services.
Billing
A system responsible for registering orders for partners on the basis of information about API service use. The component is integrated with API Manager (synchronizing data concerning TPP and services-products) and with the Rating module (creating orders). The system enables generating a report from the created orders, has billing and invoicing functionalities.
Sandbox
A component sharing test versions of API Gateway services. Sandbox enables a test trigger of an API service in a safe, non-production environment. API Gateway Sandbox returns sample answers defined for each service. Sandbox is integrated with the partner portal.
Identity Manager
A system for managing the identity of internal and external users. Supports SSO, enables integration with LDAP and mapping user groups, e.g. in the Active Directory, onto API Manager application roles, and grants access to API Manager and the Portal in accordance with the user’s configuration.
Import Module (Data Integration Module)
This module is responsible for importing third-party partner data to the Agama API system. In the context of PSD2, it is responsible for integration with the so-called licensing authority register for certifying partners, which in Poland will ultimately be the National Clearing House.
