AS2/AS4 protocol works on HTTP as a transport. Hence Apigee Edge can Integrate with AS2 or AS4 based services. HTTP is natively supported by Apigee proxies.

This kind of Apigee implementation happens typically in one of these two fashions:

1. Consider that Apigee layer is in the middle of a client and a target server communicating over AS2 or AS4 protocol. In this case it would be fairly simple to introduce an Apigee proxy in the middle and derive additional value through NFRs like rate-limiting or operational analytics.

2. The other case could be to expose more simplified REST based APIs from a AS2 or AS4 based target service. Here some amount of payload transformation logic needs to be written in the Apigee proxy layer to translate the protocols. There is no out of box support here. It needs service specific transformation logic, case-to-case basis.
