The API Economy: Disruption and the Business of APIs

Rate this book
The API space has produced an economy in it’s own right. There is inherently the monetary exchange from developer user to API provider. But looking deeper, partners to API programs have emerged that offer key components to support an API throughout it’s lifecycle, streamlining operations for the API provider and improving their overall developer program - strong evidence of an industry maturing.

Tune into case studies as we explore how agile businesses are using APIs to disrupt industries and outperform competitors. We’ll forecast into the future growth of the API industry, analyze the impact APIs have historically had on specific industries, and see where partners to API providers fit into the overall spectrum. This eBook also compiles our knowledge on growth sectors impacted by APIs: We examine specific sectors, like FinTech, healthcare, IoT, and industries that have yet to be API-fied. If you are an economist, industry expert, architect, entrepreneur looking for a new project, or simply intrigued by the concept of disruptive APIs, join us as we analyze the state of the API economy and review exciting potentials using new web technology and innovative business partnerships.

This book has many insights about API's and the related business topics. I would recommend it to every business owner or senior manager.

The last three chapters are the most useful to management, while the chapter about API Management is the most useful for developers.

Being a book composed of blog entries, there is some repeated or inconsistent information spread around the book, but it isn't a big issue.

Apenas "ok". O conteúdo não é ruim, mas por se tratar de um compilado de blog posts da Nordic APIs, há muita repetição de um capítulo (post) para o outro, o que se torna uma leitura enjoativa.
Bastante foco em business mas com conteúdo de valor para tecnologia também.
