Simplify API Publishing, Discoverability, and
Consumption
Workato®, the leading AI-driven enterprise orchestration
platform, announced the launch of its Unified API Platform,
designed to empower enterprises to publish, consume, and govern
APIs with unprecedented speed and efficiency. This platform is a
game-changer for AI-powered enterprises, offering the tools needed
to create AI gateways and accelerate digital transformation.
API Management enables organizations to manage, secure, and
monitor their APIs, which are essential for facilitating
communication between different software applications. In many
instances, organizations are faced with poor API documentation and
discoverability, knowledge barriers for consumption, and most of
all, choosing between fragmented solutions or tech stacks that take
time and resources to deploy. With Workato’s API management,
organizations can empower teams to redefine how they work with APIs
by cutting complexity and costs and accelerating speed to market.
Workato’s unique approach allows technical and non-technical users
to manage APIs effectively, driving faster innovation, and broader
API adoption within organizations. Workato’s API management is an
integral part of its enterprise orchestration platform ensuring
maximum reuse and seamless integration of SaaS applications and
legacy backend systems into end-to-end business processes.
Workato’s Unified API Platform key updates and features
include:
- API Development: Empowers creating, publishing, and
managing APIs without code. Users can easily set up API endpoints
and securely expose services and share data. It supports key
standards like REST, SOAP, OData, and OpenAPI, and offers strong
security options, including OAuth2 and JWT. The platform scales
elastically for bursty workloads and ensures performance and
security with tools like rate limits, concurrency, quotas, API
proxy, and IP blocking. For administration, it gives detailed logs,
automatic documentation, dashboards for monitoring health, and
analytics.
- Copilots for API Publishing: Workato Copilot streamlines
API publishing with AI-driven suggestions and automation, assisting
in API connector development, documentation generation, and best
practice adherence. This enhances productivity and ensures secure,
reliable API integrations with minimal effort.
- API Proxy: The new API proxy acts as a secure and
scalable gateway, allowing customers to easily onboard their legacy
APIs. It supports ultra-low latency and high-volume requests,
ensuring both internal and external users can access these APIs
securely. This feature fosters a seamless integration
environment.
- Developer Portal: The newly designed Developer Portal
simplifies API discovery and boosts consumption. Tailored for
developers, it allows the creation of a custom catalog of APIs and
enables self-service, enhancing the developer experience by making
it easier to find and utilize the APIs they need.
- AI Gateway: The AI gateway is a pioneering addition,
enabling customers to seamlessly connect to and consume AI/LLM
services, securing access to business services from AI assistants
or custom GPTs. AI developers can now focus on building specific AI
use cases, such as LLM RAG chatbots or AI integrations, without
worrying about the underlying infrastructure. This gateway ensures
a secure and observable lifecycle for AI applications in
production.
- Copilots for API Consumption: Workato continues to
provide a Low-Code/No-Code (LCNC) platform that democratizes API
consumption. Users of varying skill levels can leverage the
universal recipe construct to consume APIs without worrying about
infrastructure, operations, or coding skills. Now, Workato Copilots
simplify API consumption with a conversational interface, allowing
users to easily build connectors and integrate them into
recipes.
Workato customers have leveraged the platform to create APIs for
a wide range of services and products, connecting to thousands of
apps seamlessly. These updates further enhance the platform’s
capabilities, driving greater innovation and efficiency. With these
advancements, Workato’s Unified API Platform provides a single
destination for developers to access and manage all APIs, reducing
complexity and costs. This platform enhances security, governance,
and innovation by offering total visibility and control over APIs.
Empowering teams with a comprehensive API catalog increases
consumption, accelerates development, and time-to-market.
“Enterprises today grapple with numerous challenges in API
management, including complex infrastructure management,
governance, high development costs, API sprawl and
underutilization,” said Bhagat Nainani, Senior Vice President of
Product Development at Workato. “Workato’s Unified API management
platform tackles these challenges head-on by offering a single pane
of glass for all deployed APIs, drastically reducing the time to
value. Our streamlined approach curbs API sprawl and redundancy,
while ensuring better visibility and utilization of APIs. Our LCNC
platform democratizes access, enabling users of all skill levels to
efficiently adopt and leverage APIs. By enhancing API discovery,
governance, and collaboration, our platform makes existing APIs
more visible, subscribable, and easily consumable, delivering
substantial benefits and resolving critical issues in enterprise
API management.”

operations by orchestrating business processes end-to-end and
operationalizing AI across the entire organization. Designed with
best-in-class security and governance, scalability, performance,
and availability, Workato’s low-code, no-code platform makes it
