APIerot
APIerot is a term used in discussions of application programming interfaces to describe a proposed architectural approach for interoperable and governable API exposure within distributed systems. It is not a formal standard, but a conceptual framework referenced in theoretical and instructional contexts to explore how APIs can be designed, discovered, and governed across service boundaries.
The core idea centers on integrating a core API gateway, a metadata registry, and a policy engine
In operation, clients discover available APIs through the registry, negotiate versions and permissions with the policy
APIerot is not a formal standard. It aligns with established practices in API management, contract-first design,
In practice, the concept serves as a heuristic for evaluating API governance, scalability, and interoperability. It
