The Edge Hostnames API (HAPI) manages how requests for your site, app, or content are mapped to Akamai edge servers. An edge hostname is the CNAME target you use when directing your end user traffic to Akamai. In a typical DNS CNAME, your www.customer.com hostname corresponds to an edge hostname of www.customer.com.edgesuite.net.
Use the Property Manager API (PAPI) to create edge hostnames in order to align with the Property Manager product, IP version, and security settings. Use HAPI to get existing edge hostnames, edit edge hostname details such as IP version and TTL, and delete edge hostnames.
