API Gateway:REST API

Last Updated:Jun 22, 2026

Create, manage, and configure REST APIs in Cloud-native API Gateway to streamline your development workflow.

Create a REST API and add an operation to it

REST APIs are designed for business-centered development teams and support scenarios such as API First and fine-grained API management. You can create REST APIs from the console or by importing OpenAPI specifications. For more information, see Create a REST API and add an operation.

Add a routing policy

After you add an operation to an API, add a routing policy to ensure API security, performance, and maintainability. For more information, see Configure policies and plug-ins.

Configure consumer authentication policies

REST API supports route-level authentication using API key, JWT, and HMAC methods. These methods verify caller identity, control access permissions, enforce multi-tenant isolation, and prevent unauthorized access. For more information, see Configure an authentication policy.

Manage REST APIs

Cloud-native API Gateway supports publishing, importing, exporting, and unpublishing REST APIs. You can also generate SDKs and their documentation directly from the console to simplify API integration.

API management

You can specify backend services for operations, add policies, and configure consumer authentication. For more information, see Manage operations.
