API Gateway FAQs

An API gateway is a service that provides a central entry point for requests to one or more APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). It facilitates seamless integration and communication between different services, applications, and clients. The IONOS API Management service helps you create, deploy, and manage APIs while keeping the required processes as straightforward as possible.

The IONOS API Gateway offers the flexibility you need when working with APIs. You have a range of configuration and management tools to choose from, including the ability to manage the gateway through APIs or use tools like Terraform. We also provide a variety of SDKs (Software Development Kits) to make API processes easier. Take advantage of automated configuration and deployment options that are fully aligned with your infrastructure needs.

The IONOS API Gateway pricing is closely tied to your needs and usage. You are billed based on the number of API requests (per million requests) and for outgoing data transfer, calculated at the contract level.
