DigitalAPI

DigitalAPI brings APIs managed by different gateways into a shared catalogue for developers, partners, and AI agents. It covers API discovery, governance, documentation, subscriptions, monetisation, and marketplace functions, and connects with Apigee, Kong, AWS Gateway, and Azure APIM. Its developer portal offers API search, access requests, role-based key provisioning, usage tracking, and sandboxes for each environment. The platform can expose APIs as MCP tools, with agent credentials, separate rate limits, and an audit trail; listed clients include Claude, GPT via Responses API tool calls, Gemini, Cursor, Continue, and custom copilots. DigitalAPI also lists analytics, API linting, style guide enforcement, lifecycle controls, and CI/CD integration. Deployment options include self-hosting in a VPC or on-premises, and managed single-tenant hosting. The security page describes ISO 27001 certification and control mapping for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. The company began as an API consulting firm in Bangalore in 2015 and became a platform in 2020. Starter costs $2.50 a month; Growth costs $8 a month; Enterprise pricing is on request. A free trial is available, with flexible pilot length.
