Accelerate Mobile Application Integration with API Express

A Robust Web, PWA, and Mobile App Integration Solution to Put Your Data to Work on Any Device

API Express is a mobile application integration tool that helps sync Appery.io apps with any back-end system. You can deploy API Express as a standalone product, or boost application performance with additional features like offline synchronization.

Appery.io API Express

Legacy Integration

Turn enterprise assets and services into a REST API for your mobile app. With API Express you can make this happen without needing to rewrite your applications.

Instant APIs

Create an API for your mobile app by converting enterprise assets into API REST services. Need to present the same asset in different ways through different API orchestrators? Our handy tool makes it easy.

API Management

Build a RESTwall that restricts access to your assets and monitors API usage. The Appery.io platform ensures secure and measurable API usage and can be integrated with third-party API management platforms.

Hackathons and Demos Made Easier

Make use of Appery built-in mobile app integration tools and back-end services to create app demos or prototype mobile apps in hackathons. Using API Express, you can also integrate your app with other IT systems and retrieve client data.

Integrate: SQL Databases

Extract data from any SQL database including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, and PostgreSQL using REST services. Connect to any SQL database for Create, Read, Update, and Delete (CRUD) operations. Use the full power of SQL inside a REST service by specifying only a few connection parameters.

Integrate: SOAP Services

Use our web, PWA, and mobile app integration tool to present an existing SOAP-based web service as a mobile-ready REST service. No conversion is necessary. Keep running the SOAP service and, with a WSDL file and a few configuration parameters, easily integrate it into mobile apps as a REST service.

Integrate: NoSQL Databases

API Express gives you the opportunity to easily expose NoSQL functionality as a REST API. API Express also provides an extended option to integrate your app with the Appery.io database, which is also NoSQL.

Integrate: An Existing REST Service

Use an existing REST service as a new REST service for security or functional purposes. A single-endpoint REST-to-REST service can be used to alias a REST service in case you change the endpoint or limit the scope of access to the endpoint service. API Express also provides a set of different entries into the endpoint REST service for different uses or users.

Integrate: Multiple REST Services

Expose multiple existing REST services as a new REST service for security or functionality. Aggregate several REST services together as a new API. Make mashup-style APIs from a variety of sources for many purposes.

Integrate: Business Processes

Use a flow-chart approach to combine different enterprise assets and apply them as a REST service. Easily combine building blocks for REST services, JavaScript code, and mapping output from other blocks along with building blocks for conditional testing and multi-processing — all within Appery.io’s famed visual interface.

Secure: Appery.io Database Authentication

Enhance your API service security using the Appery.io authentication server. Take advantage of Roles and Permissions to fine-tune security for your service. Use an API service to narrow or broaden access to an asset and implement extra features like single sign-on.

Secure: Third-Party Authentication

Replace the built-in authentication mechanisms provided by Appery.io with any third-party solution — LDAP, OpenID, your own database, or custom code written in Java and JavaScript. Our mobile application integration tools allow you to choose a system that best suits your needs. 

Deploy: Cloud

Take advantage of zero-install and extensive scalability. Benefit from the administrative and security features of our hosted cloud service. Make the most of the cloud, both in terms of development and operations.

Deploy: Onsite or Private Cloud

For more control over your app, install API Express behind your own firewall. Our team stands ready to assist you in smoothly implementing your own API Express. Our on-site installation can support clustering and limits.

Leverage the Platform: Offline App Support

Use the Appery.io Offline Sync back-end service to make sure your employees can access your application even if the Internet goes down.

Leverage the Platform: Server-Side Code

Have some business logic in your app that you want to get off the client app? Use the platform’s built-in Server Code back-end service to write server-side business logic to manipulate or aggregate data before presenting it in your apps. Just store the JavaScript code in a Server Code instance, and have your app access the instance through an automatically generated API — a useful addition to our mobile application integration tool.

API Express Standalone

API Express is available for standalone deployment, which makes it the go-to mobile app integration solution for companies looking to “mobilize” legacy systems with RESTful APIs. API Express Standalone is also ideal for situations in which enterprises prefer to deploy it behind their firewall, while still leveraging the rest of the Appery.io platform in the cloud.

Java SDK

Extend the capabilities of the Appery.io platform by leveraging the Java SDK included in the API Express Standalone service. Incorporate your own integration logic into API Express with the help of Apache Caramel, which acts as an execution engine.
