The Foundation Layer

The APIs that
Run the Ecosystem.

Apiway provides the systematic "Brain" that standard gateways lack. We handle the complex logic of identity mediation, tenant isolation, and contract verification so your developers don't have to.

01. The Identity Bridge

Why build registration and login again? Our **Identities API** offloads the heavy lifting to your IdP (Auth0, Okta, Azure AD) while maintaining a high-speed "Reverse Lookup" record in Apiway.

  • The Clients API Native multi-tenancy. Manage organizations, departments, and their rotating client secrets in one unified registry.
  • IdP Record of Truth We track the "Active" state. If an identity is deactivated in your IdP, Apiway kills their API access globally within milliseconds.

Mediation Logic

The Zero-Trust Handshake.

01. Your IdP

Auth0, Okta, or Azure AD issues a high-trust JWT to the client.

A!
02. Apiway Brain

Performs Reverse Lookup. Maps IdP Identity to Clients, Scopes, and OpenSLA Entitlements.

03. Gateway (Brawn)

Receives "Pass/Fail" + Context. Forwards traffic to back-end with 100% policy certainty.

Identity Latency Target

$$L_{med} < 5ms$$

// Identities API: Reverse Lookup Request

GET /identities/lookup/{sub_id}

{
  "id": "user_01HJK",
  "status": "active",
  "tenant_id": "org_finflow_global",
  "linked_idp": "okta_prod_01",
  "last_synced": "2026-02-22T10:45Z"
}
Verification Engine PASSED

"GET /v1/accounts returns 200 OK and matches OAS Schema."

Compliance Engine DRIFT DETECTED

"Live Gateway has undocumented path /v1/internal/debug."

02. Automated Integrity

Don't let your documentation lie to your customers. We ensure your design and your code are perfectly aligned.

  • Compliance API Constant drift analysis. We find the "Shadow APIs" that developers added to the gateway but forgot to add to the OAS.
  • Verifications API Automated E2E testing. We treat your OAS as the test suite, automatically verifying that every endpoint actually does what it claims.

The Integrity Equation

$$SystemIntegrity = \frac{Compliance + Verification}{ActiveIdentities}$$

As you scale tenants, the probability of drift increases exponentially. Apiway brings the integrity back to zero-drift.
