Akamai OPEN Edgegrid API Clients
An EdgeGrid API Client is the conduit between your application and the Akamai Intelligent Platform. We have created a collection of open-source, reference client implementations to help get you started:
Documentation
| Command-line (httpie-edgegrid) |
httpie-edgegrid is an httpie plugin for EdgeGrid authentication. httpie-edgegrid is the recommended command line utility for making calls to our APIs. |
| Command-line (egcurl) | The egcurl script is a Python-based EdgeGrid Client Authentication wrapper around curl to make API calls from the command line. |
| Java | Java library for EdgeGrid Client Authentication. Provides a client independent implement as well as concrete implementations for REST-assured and Google HTTP Client Library for Java integration. |
| Node.js | This library implements an authentication handler for the Akamai EdgeGrid Authentication scheme for Node.js. |
| Perl | This library implements the Akamai Edgegrid Authentication scheme in Perl using LWP |
| PHP | This library provides a Guzzle-based client that transparently implements the Authentication scheme for PHP 5.5+. For PHP 5.3+ we also provide a standalone signing library. |
| PowerShell | Akamai EdgeGrid PowerShell authorization wrapper. |
| Python | This library implements an Akamai EdgeGrid Authentication scheme handler for the Requests library. |
| Ruby | This library implements the Akamai EdgeGrid Authentication scheme for the Ruby net/http library. |
