Features & Roadmap

Government APIs are powerful tools, but only if they are easy to find, manage, understand and ultimately, use. APEX’s API Lifecycle Portal was built to solve common frustrations with fragmented, confusing, and hard-to-navigate API experiences that often comes from siloed government APIs.

With APEX’s API Lifecycle Portal, agencies and consumers gain a modern, intuitive platform that makes publishing, discovering, and consuming APIs simple and efficient, accelerating these integrations to produce some of the most critical government applications and data systems to date.

In APEX, we believe improving these UX fundamentals is not just a matter of polish, it is a strategic enabler. A more usable portal fosters higher-quality API contributions, promotes ecosystem trust, shorten feedback loops, and increases the likelihood of meaningful reuse, which are essential for achieving our long-term vision of a thriving WOG API economy.

APEX Universal Inbound Security standardizes how APIs are protected across the platform
 

Securing APIs should not be a guessing game. With APEX Universal Inbound Security, inbound security is standardized across all APIs hosted on the platform, giving consumers a consistent and reliable way to connect, and giving publishers the confidence that their APIs are always protected in line with government standards.

APEX removes the complexity of juggling different security implementations for different APIs. Whether your API serves sensitive or public-facing information, we provide a unified and consistent framework that ensures every request is properly authenticated before any requests reaches your API Servers.

Three authentication methods, one consistent experience:

1. JWT Authentication
   
   Ideal for direct, server-to-server integrations. Self-signed JWT tokens ensure that every API call is tamper proof and replay proof. Payload integrity is verified with every request, delivering strong security without sacrificing performance.
   
   
2. OAuth 2.1 with Corppass (Singpass coming soon)
   
   Perfect for scenarios where applications require end user consent. With built-in scope support, tokens only grant access to exactly what the user has approved. Fully compliant with government identity systems, ensuring sensitive data remains secure.
   
   
3. API Key
   
   The simplest option for less sensitive APIs that still require protection. Lightweight and easy to implement, API keys make it quick for consumers to start integrating.
