End-to-End Workflow Combining API Group, API Scope, and API Client

• Requirement Analysis and Design:

  • Divide APIs into logical or functional API Groups.

  • Design API Scopes to determine access permissions for each resource and operation.

  • Identify the API Clients to support (e.g., internal or third-party applications).

• Configuration and Authorization:

  • Configure API Groups and Scopes in the platform, applying security strategies.

  • Set access permissions and quotas for API Clients.

• Runtime Control:

  • The API Gateway validates the client identity (e.g., API Key or OAuth Token).

  • Requests are executed or denied based on the Scope and Group configurations.

• Monitoring and Optimization:

  • Continuously monitor usage for each API Group and Client.

  • Adjust Scopes or strategies as needed to respond to business changes.

  • Periodically optimize API performance and security.
