Publishing your company's API can unlock distribution channels and unleash the power of your applications, content, and data. But managing your API is a never-ending process of registering and provisioning new users, keeping an eye on performance, and responding to support requests from your developer community. It takes focus, money, time, and expertise. The cost of building your own infrastructure is not just counted in dollars; resources that are focused on reinventing the API publishing wheel cannot be spent on pressing internal projects. On top of hardware and software costs, creating, maintaining, and managing a scalable, flexible, secure API publishing infrastructure requires costly expertise that most organizations cannot easily access.
"The cost savings we will get from using Mashery is almost immeasurable."

Your API, Our Infrastructure
Mashery does one thing: We help companies like yours publish APIs. Our focus supports your focus. You create and host a killer API, and we will manage the infrastructure around it. Our services sit in front of your API, giving you superior security, on-demand scaling, and easy management.
There is no need to adjust your code to suit our infrastructure. In fact, you do not need to do any coding to integrate with the Mashery service and you can be up and running in a matter of days.
We have been providing API support since 2006, and we have over 70 customers. They span a variety of industries and their API usage ranges from thousands to tens of millions of calls per day. Usage models vary from private use APIs with partners (Hoovers) to internal API management (CBS Interactive) and public-facing APIs (Best Buy, Netflix and the New York Times).
API Success the Mashery Way Security by Design
Our first priority is security, because your API taps into the lifeblood of your company. The Mashery infrastructure was built to protect your servers from direct access. You CNAME to Mashery, and we handle the traffic. Our proxies sit in the cloud and requests do not touch your servers until they have been authenticated. User authentication and access controls are integrated around a user key; access to services, endpoints, or methods can be blocked with the click of a button. Our emphasis on security goes deep:
- Credential management leverages Oauth, SAML, and shared secrets
- Secure connections are managed via IP limiting, SSL, or HTTP Auth
- Audit logs and reports provide the ability to verify security effectiveness
"The cost of internal development goes down while productivity goes up. We can now deliver 1-2 products and 50 new features in a month."
