TOP REVIEWS FROM API DESIGN AND FUNDAMENTALS OF GOOGLE CLOUD'S APIGEE API PLATFORM
by AESep 24, 2019
Very easy to pick up and understand. The in-depth design, while still beginner, is refined well and communicates best practices which helps API development get started on the right foot!
by SRApr 28, 2019
Nice introduction to APIgee. Lab instructions could have be more clear. When working behind corporate proxy, most of the setup wont work. A warning about the same would be great.
by TWMay 27, 2018
Brief but to the point. Tells what API developers need to hear ( maybe listen) and gives enough pointers where to refer to the docs. A great starter course for APIGEE journey.
by TSJun 13, 2020
The tutors were good and the content also sufficient for the course. It was overall a very good course with content, the lectures, notes and the questionnaires and tests
About the Developing APIs with Google Cloud's Apigee API Platform Specialization
This three-course specialization introduces learners to Apigee, Google Cloud's full-lifecycle API management platform. Using a combination of presentations, hands-on labs, and supplemental materials, you will explore the full API lifecycle, and learn how to design, secure, and publish APIs using the Apigee API Platform. You will use your own Apigee organization and build APIs to solve real-world scenarios.
Note: We strongly recommend that you take the courses in order. Later lab activities build upon APIs you have implemented during previous labs.
This specialization is intended for developers, architects, or engineers responsible for the solutioning, design, implementation, or management of APIs.

Frequently Asked Questions
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
- The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.
