What's Inside?

A customer of ours once said it best - “...most open APIs start out as little more than raw, naked, features exposed to developers, and there is a big gap between a feature and a full-fledged service.” This e-book is about the capabilities ‘around the API’ that might be needed to ‘productize’, ‘monetize’, or ‘operationalize’ an API-based service. If you own an API roadmap, this e-book will give you ammunition and questions to ponder in different areas where your API might need covering up.

• Visibility and analytics
• Traffic management and rate limiting 
• Developer keys and identity 
• Security, authorization, and OAuth 
• Business models and monetization 
• Developer support and community 
• API versioning and mediation 
• Scalability and caching 
• Global deployment considerations 
• Transactional vs. content-only APIs
