Fusio introduction

posted by chriskapp on

Fusio is an open source API management platform which enables you to build, manage, document and secure RESTful APIs. It provides a intuitive backend which is based on AngularJS to manage all API endpoints.

Fusio provides common actions which can be assigned to an API endpoint. I.e. you can query data from an SQL database or push data into a message queue. It is also very easy to embed custom actions.

It is possible to define a schema for the request and response data in the flexible JsonSchema format. Fusio uses this schema to validate incoming requests and to build automatically a documentation of your API endpoints.

Fusio manages all apps which can access the protected API endpoints. You can setup fine grained scopes to control which app can access specific API endpoints. Fusio uses the OAuth2 standard for authorization.

Fusio provides also great statistics which give you an insight of the API usage. Also every request to an API endpoint is logged which helps to inspect or debug issues.

Fusio is still a young project but we are very excited about the future and have great plans to build solid open soure API management platform.
