Minimum request delay

Requests to service APIs are processed with minimum delay. Under peak loads, the service is automatically scaled to minimize response latency.

Use domains

You can use Certificate Manager domains when accessing the API. In this case, a certificate linked to the domain is used to provide a TLS connection.

Easily change specifications

Extend specifications with a click in the management console and integrate your applications with Yandex Cloud services.

Canary Deployment

Canary releases in API Gateway allow you to apply changes to the OpenAPI specifications of the API gateway gradually, to a portion of incoming queries.

Rate Limiter

Limit the number of queries to the API gateway per unit of time to defend against DDoS attacks and control consumption of cloud resources.

Free tier

Pay only for data storage and operations in serverless mode. Special pricing applies to the service: the first 100,000 requests to API gateways per month are free.

Questions and answers

An API gateway sends requests from your services and applications to Yandex Cloud services. With the Gateway API, you can access static data directly from Object Storage, process requests using the Cloud Functions service, or send HTTP requests to any web service hosted in Yandex Cloud or other platforms.

The API supports two authorization methods:

Authorization via function. Implement authorization in a convenient language and deploy it as a YC Functions function, and then just specify this function as an authorizer in the OpenAPI specification of the API gateway.
Authorization using JWT. The API gateway itself verifies the signature of the JWT token, validates its fields, checks the relevance of the token and whether it has the rights necessary to obtain a specific resource. Just configure the JWT authorizer in the OpenAPI specification of the API gateway.

Documentation

Cloud Functions — calls the specified function.
Object Storage — transmits a request to Object Storage to distribute static files.
DataSphere — calls the DataSphere node deployed as a separate microservice.
Data Streams — allows you to access Data Streams to perform an operation with a data stream.
Serverless Containers — redirects the query to the specified container.
Message Queue — allows you to access Yandex Message Queue to work with message queues.
Managed Service for YDB — allows you to perform operations with documents tables in the Yandex Managed Service for YDB database.

Documentation

In the API Gateway specification, standard integrations can be configured for the main events of work via WebSocket: establishing connections, sending data, closing/terminating connections. Also, additional methods are being added to the Yandex Cloud public API (SDK, GPS, YC) for managing WebSocket connections from the client server code: get connection data, send data to the client, close the connection.
