What DigitalAPI is
DigitalAPI is a gateway-agnostic API management platform that brings APIs from multiple gateways into a self-serve catalogue for developers, partners, and AI agents. It covers API discovery, governance, documentation, subscriptions, monetisation, and marketplace functions. The site names Apigee, Kong, AWS Gateway, and Azure APIM as supported gateway connections. Its developer portal provides API search, self-service access requests, role-based key provisioning, usage tracking, and sandboxes for each environment.
DigitalAPI can expose APIs as MCP tools for AI agents, with agent credentials, separate rate limits, and an audit trail. Listed compatible clients include Claude, GPT through Responses API tool calls, Gemini, Cursor, Continue, and custom copilots. The platform also lists consumer and latency analytics, business activity metrics, API linting, style guide enforcement, lifecycle controls, and CI/CD integration. DigitalAPI says it is ISO 27001 certified; its security page describes controls mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR, with evidence exports for assessors. Deployment options include self-hosting in a VPC through Helm or Docker, a managed single-tenant region, or on-premises self-hosting. DigitalAPI serves enterprises managing API ecosystems across industries including banking, insurance, retail, manufacturing, and media. Its Starter plan costs $2.50 a month, Growth costs $8 a month, and Enterprise pricing is available on request.
