Connecting 2 systems APIs with Apigee

[#1]

We are currently evaluating our options for system integration. We have an HRIS system and and external time clock system. Both have APIs. I'd like to run scheduled data transfers between the systems on an automated schedule. Is Apigee a good platform for these tasks? We'd be doing more complex integrations in the future, so we are looking for a platform to manage all our connectors in one place. Thx

Possibly. Apigee Edge is an API proxy. Among the benefits of using an API proxy are:

• analytics - you can capture statistics on API invocations, see charts, analyze trends, see error rates
• mediation - you can convert data formats, security tokens, and so on.
• service virtualization - you can wrap up multiple calls into one.

Apigee Edge does not provide scheduling - like a cron job service. But supposing that you had an automated task running on a particular schedule, then it could invoke APIs proxied by Apigee Edge, and you'd enjoy the benefits as described above.

Great. Thank you.
