Please have a look at implementing OAuth. OAuth is a mechanism that let's the end user exchange credentials for a token. This token can then be used by a single client to access certain APIs on behalf of that end user. Apigee can be used to act as an OAuth server and perform the verification of credentials in your backend database (through REST API) before issuing the OAuth token.

Please see here for an introduction to OAuth: https://docs.apigee.com/api-services/content/oauth-introduction
