Apigee-based Developers Portal: Step-by-Step Guide

Egnyte has migrated its API management platform from Mashery to Apigee. This change is required to maintain a secure, scalable, and reliable environment for all the API integrations.

As part of this change, users will only be required to create a new account using the same email address they previously used on the Mashery-based Egnyte Developers Portal.

All existing API keys will continue to be available and visible in the Developers Portal, ensuring no disruption to current integrations. In addition, developers will have the option to create new applications and generate new keys as needed. They can also revoke an API key, or disable it; however, these are optional actions and not related to the migration.

The article covers the steps to create a new account, access existing keys, and create new apps to get new keys. You can register for a key† and explore and test the APIs first, or dive right into the documentation.

Egnyte Public API is not available for customers on Trial, legacy Office and Team plans.
- We can only approve API keys for domain Admins that are not using Service Accounts.
- It is recommended to use a Service Account with Egnyte APIs when authorizing Access Tokens.
- For any questions or issues, please contact api-support@egnyte.com.

†Refer to Usage Restrictions by Plan for API calls limits and restrictions. Contact your Sales Rep or Egnyte Sales team for details.
