APIZ guide
Make Your First Controlled API Request
Choose the interface you will use to configure APIZ. Both quickstarts create the same product objects and finish with a real request whose upstream credential never enters the agent runtime.
Use The Web Console
Choose the Console when you want guided adapter fields, visible connection-test results, a visual Client and Binding workflow, one-time credential setup, and clickable request evidence.
Open the Web Console quickstart
Use The CLI
Choose the CLI when you want a repeatable terminal workflow, JSON output for automation, explicit context and Team selection, or tool-specific Setup Manifest rendering.
Both Paths Create The Same Model
API Instance
stores and tests the upstream connection
▲
│ selected by one Client Binding
Client
represents the agent or runtime
│
└── issues short-lived Temporary Credentials
Policy
optional; attaches to a Client Binding or API Instance
The Web Console and CLI consume the same Control Plane contracts. A resource created in one interface is immediately manageable in the other. Neither path changes the credential boundary: the agent gets an APIZ-issued Temporary Credential, never the upstream service credential.
After The Quickstart
- Learn Structured Policy for guided
WHEN / THEN / OTHERWISErequest rules. - Learn Scripted Policy for bounded TypeScript, request rewriting, synthetic replies, and fail-closed errors.
- Understand the credential boundary.
- Investigate request evidence.
