About Akamai

A content delivery network and cloud platform for distributing web content, applications, and APIs at scale.

Akamai is a CDN and edge cloud platform that delivers web content, media, and applications to end users by routing traffic through a globally distributed network of servers. It also exposes its platform capabilities—such as configuration, security, and account management—through the Akamai OPEN APIs, which use the EdgeGrid authentication scheme. Developers and enterprises use Akamai to improve performance, availability, and security of internet-facing properties.

Where to start

To interact with Akamai's APIs programmatically, start by creating API credentials through the Akamai control portal and storing them in a local `.edgerc` file. From there, you can authenticate and make API calls using the EdgeGrid authentication scheme.
