Concepts

The following provides a roadmap of all the conceptual objects you deal with when interacting with the Edge Hostnames API (HAPI), and provides links to where you can learn more.

  • EdgeHostname. Retrieve and view change requests, status of change requests, or certificates associated with an edge hostname or an array of edge hostnames. Each hostname assigned to a property corresponds to an ​Akamai Technologies, Inc.​ edge hostname, which is typically the hostname suffixed with edgesuite.net over HTTP or edgekey.net over secure HTTPS. For example, your source hostname m.example.com corresponds by default to the edge hostname m.example.com.edgesuite.net. This interface specifies the full set of edge hostnames under your control, regardless of how they are assigned to various properties or property versions.
  • Certificate. Retrieve and view the certificate details associated with an edge hostname.
  • ChangeRequest. Retrieve a change request or an array of change requests to view their details or status. Change requests signify a change made to an edge hostname.
  • Products. Retrieve a list of products to view the product names and product IDs associated with an edge hostname.
  • Localization. Retrieve the localization strings to help you translate error messages.
