WSO2 integration

PingIntelligence for APIs in a sideband deployment integrates with WSO2 API gateway to provide in-depth analytics on API traffic.

In the deployment, the WSO2 API Gateway is the primary component that intercepts API requests and applies various types of policies. Each policy is executed using an API handler. The API Gateway architecture allows users to add specific handlers to perform various tasks in different stages of the request flow.

This implementation comes with a handler that allows users to perform sideband calls to the PingIntelligence API Security Enforcer (ASE). With these sideband calls, it publishes API request metadata to Ping and checks the validity of the request. It does the same for the response. With the provided request metadata, PingIntelligence ASE can detect abnormal access patterns and build a knowledge base using API request data sent to it.
