Google Apigee Integration Guide

Connect Martini with Google Apigee through REST management APIs, governed proxy endpoints, analytics APIs, and controlled API façade patterns.

Google Apigee integration options at a glance

Google Apigee provides REST management APIs for organizations, environments, API proxies, revisions, deployments, API products, developers, developer apps, credentials, and analytics. Martini can consume these APIs to automate administration, provision API consumers, monitor asynchronous operations, and extract usage data. Martini can also call runtime endpoints published through Apigee, where API keys, OAuth 2.0, JWT, mutual TLS, or other proxy policies may apply. GraphQL and SOAP are relevant for proxied or mediated services rather than as Apigee's primary management interface. Apigee can receive inbound HTTP requests through proxies, while universal outbound webhooks for resource changes were not confirmed.

Integration pointSupported by Google Apigee?Common use casesHow Martini supports it
REST APIsYesUse Apigee's REST management APIs to administer organizations, environments, API proxies, revisions, deployments, API products, developers, developer apps, credentials, and analytics. Runtime API proxies also expose HTTP endpoints for client traffic.Martini can consume REST APIs, expose REST APIs, map payloads, orchestrate workflows, and store environment-specific authentication and endpoint configuration.
GraphQL APIsLimitedApigee supports GraphQL proxy and policy scenarios, allowing governed GraphQL traffic to be routed through Apigee. The Apigee management interface remains primarily REST-based.Martini can consume a GraphQL endpoint routed through Apigee or expose a Martini API for Apigee to govern, using GraphQL-specific mapping and error handling where required.
SOAP APIsLimitedApigee supports SOAP pass-through and SOAP-to-REST mediation patterns. SOAP is a compatibility mechanism rather than the primary management interface.Martini can consume SOAP services behind an Apigee proxy, transform XML payloads, and orchestrate SOAP-to-REST or REST-to-SOAP flows.
Bulk / async / batch APIsLimitedAdministrative operations such as deployments and environment changes may be asynchronous or return operation status. Apigee is not primarily a bulk business-data platform.Martini can invoke the operation, store its identifier, poll status, apply timeouts and bounded retries, and report completion or failure.
Analytics APIsYesApigee analytics APIs provide usage, latency, error, developer application, quota, and response-code reporting for defined time windows and dimensions.Martini can schedule analytics extraction, follow pagination, normalize reports, apply watermarks, and write summaries to databases or reporting applications.
Webhooks / outbound callbacksNot confirmedApigee proxies can receive inbound webhook-style HTTP requests, but a universal outbound webhook framework for all Apigee resource changes was not confirmed.Martini can expose an authenticated API for an Apigee proxy to call, or poll management APIs for lifecycle and deployment status rather than assuming outbound events exist.
AuthenticationYesManagement APIs use Google Cloud authentication, OAuth 2.0, service accounts, and IAM. Runtime proxies may use API keys, OAuth 2.0, JWT, Basic Authentication, mutual TLS, or custom policies when configured.Martini can keep credentials in secrets and environment configuration and apply the authentication required by each management or runtime endpoint.
Database / direct data accessNoApigee exposes analytics and reporting APIs, but direct access to Apigee's internal database was not confirmed.Martini should consume documented Apigee APIs or write extracted results to an approved external database rather than relying on internal database access.

How Google Apigee exposes data and business events

Google Apigee REST APIs

Apigee provides REST management APIs for administrative resources and exposes runtime proxy endpoints for governed application traffic. These are the principal integration interfaces for Martini.

Martini implementation pattern

Martini implementation pattern: a workflow authenticates to the appropriate management or runtime endpoint, sends the request, validates the response, maps the result, and records identifiers and status for reconciliation.

Implementation sequence

Load the organization, project, environment, and proxy configuration
Authenticate with the required Google Cloud or proxy policy credentials
Call the Apigee management or runtime endpoint
Validate the HTTP response and Apigee fault information
Map the response to the target model
Store identifiers, status, and a correlation reference

Google Apigee GraphQL traffic

Apigee supports GraphQL proxy and policy scenarios, but GraphQL is not the primary interface for managing Apigee resources. It is relevant when a GraphQL service is routed through Apigee.

Martini implementation pattern

Martini implementation pattern: Martini consumes the governed GraphQL endpoint or exposes an API that Apigee proxies, then applies query-specific authentication, transformation, validation, and error handling.

Implementation sequence

Resolve the Apigee-proxied GraphQL endpoint and credentials
Submit the query or mutation with required variables
Validate GraphQL data and errors separately
Map the response into the canonical model
Apply business rules before writing downstream results
Record failures without exposing tokens or sensitive payloads

Google Apigee SOAP mediation

Apigee supports SOAP pass-through and SOAP mediation patterns, including SOAP-to-REST scenarios. SOAP is generally used for compatibility with existing services rather than Apigee administration.

Martini implementation pattern

Martini implementation pattern: Martini consumes the configured SOAP endpoint, transforms XML structures where necessary, validates the response, and can route the result to REST or other enterprise targets.

Implementation sequence

Load the SOAP endpoint and environment-specific credentials
Construct the XML request from the canonical input
Call the Apigee-mediated SOAP service
Validate the SOAP response and fault details
Transform XML into the target representation
Retry only transient failures and route permanent faults for review

Apigee asynchronous operations

Some administrative operations, including deployment or environment changes, may return an operation identifier and complete asynchronously. Completion must be checked explicitly.

Martini implementation pattern

Martini implementation pattern: a workflow starts the operation, stores its identifier, polls status with bounded backoff, and exposes a final success, failure, timeout, or cancellation result.

Implementation sequence

Validate the requested proxy revision and target environment
Start the Apigee administrative operation
Store the returned operation identifier
Poll operation status at bounded intervals
Stop when the operation succeeds, fails, or times out
Prevent duplicate operations while the original remains active

HTTP ingress through an Apigee proxy

An Apigee proxy can receive inbound HTTP requests and forward them to a Martini API after applying configured authentication, quotas, validation, and routing policies. This is not a universal outbound Apigee webhook model.

Martini implementation pattern

Martini implementation pattern: Martini exposes a controlled API, authenticates and validates the forwarded request, transforms the payload, orchestrates downstream calls, and returns a governed response.

Implementation sequence

Receive the request forwarded by the Apigee proxy
Validate authentication context, headers, and payload
Generate or propagate a correlation identifier
Map the request to the canonical workflow input
Execute downstream business and integration steps
Return a controlled response and record processing status

Common Google Apigee integration patterns

Pattern 1: Automate API proxy deployments

When to use this pattern

Use this pattern when release or platform teams need a controlled process for deploying a known API proxy revision to a specific Apigee environment. It separates validation, deployment, asynchronous status monitoring, and failure reporting.

Integration direction
Release system
Martini
Google Apigee
Example Mapping
Google Apigee FieldCanonical FieldTarget Field
proxyNameapiProxy.nameAPI proxy name
revisionapiProxy.revisionAPI proxy revision
environmentdeployment.environmentApigee environment
operationStatusdeployment.statusOperation status
Martini implementation pattern

A Martini API or workflow receives the deployment request, validates organization and environment values, authenticates with a least-privilege service account, calls the Apigee management API, polls the operation, and returns a controlled result. The workflow rejects invalid revisions, prevents duplicate deployments, and routes timeout or permanent failures for review.

Martini capabilities used
  • APIs
  • workflows
  • data mapping
  • business rules
  • asynchronous orchestration
  • error handling

Pattern 2: Provision Apigee API consumers

When to use this pattern

Use this pattern when an approved customer, partner, or internal application must be represented in Apigee as a Developer and Developer app with selected API Products and credentials.

Integration direction
Salesforce
Martini
Google Apigee
Example Mapping
Google Apigee FieldCanonical FieldTarget Field
Account.Idconsumer.externalIdDeveloper external identifier
Account.Nameconsumer.nameDeveloper name
Application.Nameapplication.nameDeveloper app name
ApprovedProductsentitlements.productsAPI Products
Martini implementation pattern

Martini receives an approved source record, looks up existing Developers and Developer apps, creates or updates only the required objects, associates API Products, and returns provisioning status. Deterministic names and stored Apigee identifiers support idempotency; credential values are handled as secrets and excluded from logs.

Martini capabilities used
  • workflows
  • API consumption
  • data mapping
  • business rules
  • secrets management
  • error handling

Pattern 3: Synchronize Apigee analytics

When to use this pattern

Use this pattern when platform owners need scheduled API usage, latency, response-code, quota, or developer-app summaries in a reporting database or operational dashboard.

Integration direction

Google Apigee FieldCanonical FieldTarget Field
proxyapiProxy.nameapi_proxy
developer_appconsumer.applicationdeveloper_app
response_status_codetraffic.statusCoderesponse_code
request_counttraffic.requestCountrequest_count
Martini implementation pattern

A scheduled Martini workflow calls the Apigee Analytics API for a bounded time window, follows pagination, converts time zones consistently, and writes normalized summaries to PostgreSQL or another approved target. A watermark with an overlap period supports late-arriving data, while downstream keys prevent duplicate report rows.

Martini capabilities used
  • scheduled workflows
  • API consumption
  • pagination handling
  • mapping and transformation
  • database connectivity
  • error handling

Pattern 4: Govern HTTP event ingress

When to use this pattern

Use this pattern when external systems should reach a Martini process through an Apigee-governed public endpoint. Apigee applies configured authentication, quotas, validation, and routing policies before forwarding the request.

Integration direction
External application

Example Mapping
Google Apigee FieldCanonical FieldTarget Field
X-Correlation-Idrequest.correlationIdworkflow correlation ID
eventTypeevent.typerouting key
eventIdevent.ididempotency key
payloadevent.dataworkflow input
Martini implementation pattern

Martini exposes a controlled API that receives the proxied request, validates the forwarded policy context and payload, applies routing rules, and calls downstream systems. The workflow stores the event identifier before processing where appropriate, returns a clear response, and distinguishes transient downstream failures from rejected requests.

Martini capabilities used
  • API exposure
  • workflows
  • data validation
  • business rules
  • idempotency
  • error handling

Applications commonly integrated with Google Apigee

Google Apigee commonly sits between enterprise applications and consumers of governed APIs. Martini can orchestrate these relationships using each application's native APIs, Apigee proxy endpoints, and reusable workflows; the following are typical architecture patterns rather than bundled Apigee connectors.

Application Scenario Direction Martini Pattern
Salesforce Expose Salesforce data through governed APIs or synchronize customer and opportunity information while centralizing authentication, quotas, and policy enforcement. Salesforce → Google Apigee → Martini Martini calls the Apigee proxy or Salesforce API, validates and transforms the payload, applies business rules, and writes the result to downstream systems with retry and reconciliation handling.
ServiceNow Govern integrations involving incidents, requests, configuration items, or catalog data while applying consistent API security and traffic policies. ServiceNow → Google Apigee → Martini A Martini workflow receives or retrieves ServiceNow data through an Apigee-governed endpoint, maps it to a canonical model, and orchestrates downstream updates and error handling.
SAP S/4HANA Mediate APIs for customer, order, material, and finance processes between SAP and external applications. SAP S/4HANA → Google Apigee → Martini Martini consumes an Apigee-published SAP endpoint, transforms JSON or XML structures, validates required business fields, and routes successful and failed transactions separately.
Workday Publish or consume controlled APIs for worker, organization, and business-process integrations. Workday → Google Apigee → Martini Martini invokes the governed Workday endpoint through Apigee, maps the response to internal models, and schedules incremental synchronization where event delivery is unavailable.
Jira Expose controlled project, issue, or workflow APIs and coordinate Jira updates with downstream enterprise processes. Jira → Google Apigee → Martini Martini calls the Jira API through an Apigee proxy, applies routing and transformation rules, and records external identifiers to support idempotent updates.
Zendesk Govern support API access and synchronize tickets, users, or organizations with enterprise systems. Zendesk → Google Apigee → Martini A Martini workflow consumes Zendesk data through the governed proxy, normalizes ticket and customer fields, and sends updates to operational or reporting targets.
NetSuite Apply a centralized API layer to finance, customer, order, and fulfillment integrations. NetSuite → Google Apigee → Martini Martini consumes NetSuite REST or SOAP services exposed through Apigee, transforms payloads, applies reconciliation rules, and handles transient and validation failures.
Shopify Protect and mediate commerce APIs for products, customers, orders, and fulfillment workflows. Shopify → Google Apigee → Martini Martini receives or retrieves Shopify data through Apigee-managed endpoints, maps commerce objects to enterprise models, and uses stored identifiers to prevent duplicate processing.

How to build a Google Apigee integration in Martini

Objective

Establish the management-plane or runtime connection with environment-specific endpoints and least-privilege credentials.

Instructions in Martini

  • Configure the Apigee organization, project, environment, proxy, and revision values as environment configuration.
  • Store service-account material, OAuth tokens, API keys, and other secrets outside workflow definitions.
  • Select Google Cloud authentication or the runtime proxy policy required by the target endpoint.
  • Test authentication separately for management and runtime APIs.

Objective

Select the trigger that matches the integration objective, distinguishing inbound HTTP traffic from scheduled administration or analytics extraction.

Instructions in Martini

  • Use a Martini API when Apigee will proxy inbound requests to Martini.

Authentication and security considerations

Management-plane authentication

Apigee management APIs use Google Cloud authentication patterns, including OAuth 2.0 access tokens, service accounts, Application Default Credentials in suitable hosted environments, and IAM roles. Martini should use least-privilege credentials and separate management-plane access from runtime proxy credentials.

Runtime proxy security

APIs exposed through Apigee may require API keys, OAuth 2.0 tokens, JWTs, Basic Authentication, mutual TLS, or custom policies. The required mechanism depends on the proxy configuration and must be validated per endpoint.

Secret handling

  • Store tokens, service-account material, API keys, and client secrets in Martini secrets or environment configuration.
  • Do not embed credentials in workflow definitions, payloads, or logs.
  • Use separate credentials for development, test, and production environments.
  • Remove sensitive authorization values from diagnostic output.

Operational considerations for Google Apigee integrations

Quotas and rate limits

Account for Google Cloud quotas, Apigee management limits, runtime proxy quotas, and HTTP 429 responses. Honor Retry-After where provided and use bounded exponential backoff.

Pagination and time windows

Management and analytics responses may be paginated. Preserve page tokens, filters, report dimensions, and time-zone handling across requests. Analytics workflows should use watermarks with a small overlap for late-arriving data.

Asynchronous operations

Deployment and administrative operations may complete asynchronously. Store the operation identifier, poll with a timeout, distinguish success from failure or cancellation, and prevent duplicate operations while one is active.

Idempotency and schema change

Look up existing Developers, Developer apps, API Products, and deployments before creating or updating them. Test changes to proxy paths, policies, headers, OAuth scopes, schemas, revisions, and error formats before promotion.

Observability

Preserve HTTP status codes, Apigee fault names, correlation identifiers, and proxy or target errors while excluding credentials. Distinguish transient network failures from authorization, validation, quota, and permanent client errors.

Why use Martini instead of scripts or point-to-point integrations?

Orchestrate more than an API call

Scripts can call an endpoint, but Martini provides a maintainable workflow model for validation, dependent Apigee operations, asynchronous polling, downstream writes, and controlled responses.

Reuse integration logic

Martini can expose APIs, consume Apigee REST, GraphQL, or SOAP endpoints, and reuse mappings, authentication configuration, and error-handling patterns across environments and applications.

Improve reliability

  • Apply business rules before provisioning or deployment changes.
  • Use pagination, watermarks, idempotency, retries, and timeouts consistently.
  • Keep environment-specific endpoints and credentials outside workflow logic.
  • Preserve operational context for monitoring, troubleshooting, and reconciliation.

Frequently asked questions

How can Google Apigee be integrated with enterprise systems?

Google Apigee can be integrated through its REST management APIs, runtime API proxy endpoints, analytics APIs, and configured GraphQL or SOAP mediation paths. Enterprise workflows can use Apigee to govern access while Martini consumes, transforms, orchestrates, and exposes APIs around those interactions.

Can Martini integrate with Google Apigee?

Yes. Martini can integrate with Google Apigee by consuming Apigee REST management and analytics APIs, calling APIs published through Apigee, exposing APIs that Apigee proxies, and orchestrating deployment, consumer provisioning, analytics, and ingress workflows.

Do I need a connector to integrate Google Apigee with Martini?

No. A dedicated Google Apigee connector is not required. Martini can use Apigee's confirmed native REST APIs, HTTP proxy endpoints, authentication methods, analytics APIs, and configured GraphQL or SOAP endpoints.

Is there any extra Lonti cost to integrate Google Apigee with Martini?

Lonti does not charge an additional per-connector or per-vendor fee to integrate Google Apigee. Integration use is subject to the provisioned capacity of the Martini environment. Separate Google Cloud, Apigee, infrastructure, network, or downstream application costs may apply.

Which Google Apigee integration methods should be used?

Use the REST management API for administration, provisioning, deployments, and configuration; runtime proxy endpoints for governed application traffic; and the Analytics API for reporting. GraphQL and SOAP are appropriate when Apigee is proxying or mediating those services, not as replacements for the REST management interface.

Does Google Apigee provide webhooks or events for Martini?

Apigee proxies can receive inbound HTTP requests and forward them to a Martini API after applying configured policies. A universal outbound webhook mechanism for all proxy, developer, application, product, or deployment changes was not confirmed, so scheduled polling or purpose-built notification flows may be needed.

How does synchronization with Google Apigee work?

Martini can run scheduled workflows that retrieve management resources or analytics pages, follow pagination, apply watermarks, transform the results, and write them to target systems. Deployment and configuration workflows can poll asynchronous operation status and use stored external identifiers for reconciliation.

How does Martini handle Apigee mapping, errors, and retries?

Martini maps Apigee objects and responses to canonical target models, applies validation and business rules, and preserves useful HTTP and Apigee fault information. Workflows can use bounded exponential backoff for transient failures, avoid unsafe retries of non-idempotent operations, and route permanent errors for review.
