Stop API Abuse That
Gateways Can't See
Identity-Based Abuse Detection for API Businesses
Gateways track IPs. We track Users. Stop multi-account exploitation, proxy abuse, and free-tier fraud with a behavioral firewall that actually understands identity.
Context Graphing
Free Tier: 50,000 API calls/month • No credit card required
Why Gateways Aren't Enough
Traditional gateways manage traffic. APIGate manages Identity & Trust. Solve the abuse problems that network tools can't see.
Identity-Linked Rate Limiting
Don't just limit IPs. Limit User + IP pairs. If a single user is hopping across 20 IPs to bypass limits, we catch them and block the account automatically.
Status Code Anomaly Detection
Detect brute-force or probing attacks by monitoring 4xx/5xx error spikes per Identity and IP. Automatically restrict users who generate excessive errors.
Geo-Velocity & Country Hopping
Flag impossible travel. If a user logs in from 4 different countries 1 day, we detect this abnormality and block access.
Multi-Account Fingerprinting
Identify when one person creates 50 accounts to farm your free tier. We link accounts by IP attribution and behavior patterns.
Long-Term Behavioral History
Gateways forget; we remember. We track every request in ClickHouse engine and maintain a permanent violation history for every user based on their lifetime behavior.
Smart Request Batching
The local proxy aggregates thousands of checks into single batched requests. Drastically reduces per-request costs and bypasses standard rate limits.
2-Line Integration
Integrates at the application layer. Just two API calls to secure your entire platform. No complex DNS changes or reverse proxies required.
Ultra-Low Latency (< 5ms)
Deploy our local Go proxy for instant decision times. Caches allow/block decisions locally at the edge, eliminating network round-trips for repeat requests.
Privacy-First & Local Encryption
Email addresses (or User IDs) are encrypted locally preventing data visibility to APIGate. Our behavioral tracking works perfectly with anonymized hashes.
Built for High-Value APIs
If your API costs money to run, you can't afford to ignore identity-based abuse.
AI & LLM APIs
Inference is expensive. Don't let a single user with 50 accounts burn your GPU budget. Block free-tier exploiters before they run a single prompt.
Crypto & FinTech
Stop 'identity hopping' and specialized proxy farms. specific protection against users rotating IPs to bypass KYC or rate limits.
SaaS Free Tiers
Protect your usage-based pricing. Ensure your 'Free Plan' is actually for new users, not permanent freeloaders creating infinite accounts.
Developer Platforms
prevent platform abuse where bad actors use your infrastructure for command & control or spam relaying.
Global Identity Intelligence
Leverage shared intelligence across our network. APIGate tracks over 600M+ compromised IPs including proxy exit nodes, VPN servers, and residential botnets to stop fraud before it reaches your logic.
600M+ IPs
Threshold-Based Control System
Every monitoring and restriction mechanism in APIGate is driven by client-defined thresholds. You have complete control over what gets tracked, when actions are triggered, and how your API is protected.
What to Track
- IP addresses
- User Identities
- User agents
- Response status
- Countries
- Violations
Timeframes
- Per minute
- Per hour
- Per day
Actions to Trigger
- Block requests
- Restrict access
- Allow bypass
Control Level
- Automated actions
- Manual intervention
- Hybrid approach
Complete Control & Flexibility
Admins can enable or disable automated restriction or blocking, allowing full control over how APIGate enforces your traffic policies.
Integrates in Minutes, Not Days
Drop into any backend with minimal overhead. Two endpoints, maximum protection.
1. Check Access
Call this before expensive operations (e.g. LLM inference, Payment).
{
"email": "user@example.com", // OR "user_123"
"ip_address": "23.94.58.1",
"user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0..."
}{ "allow": true }{ "allow": false }2. Log Outcome
Send us the result (Success/Error) to train the status code anomaly models.
{
"email": "user@example.com", // OR "user_123"
"status_code": 200,
"endpoint": "/generate_image",
"response_time_ms": 145
}// APIGate updates user's trust score // based on this interaction.
