Cloud APIs are significant for any company, its most important benefit is control over the cloud operations. Companies can perform infrastructure management and deployment processes according to the business requirements. Moreover, users can build applications based on their requirement which increases its efficiency. Thus, cloud APIs provide the necessary flexibility to quickly and precisely perform user defined actions. This flexibility allows users to manage or deploy resources according to their requirement.

PMR Market Insight Report 2015 to 2021.”
Cloud Application Programming Interface (API) enables development of applications
and services used to provide cloud hardware, software and platforms. Cloud API
works as a middleware that provides direct and indirect cloud infrastructure and
software services to end users. There are two basic frameworks for a cloud API
namely Representational State Transfer (REST) and Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP). Cross platform and client specific APIs are also available for use according
to the requirements. There are four major scenarios where cloud computing
integrates with another platform or another cloud provider. First is PaaS API (Service
Level) known as Platform-as-a-Service API which is used to provide access and
functionality to cloud environment. Second is SaaS API (Application Level) known as
Software as-a-Service API that binds the application layer with the cloud and
underlying IT infrastructure layer. Third is Iaas API (Infrastructure Level) known as
Infrastructure-as-a-service API which helps in controlling specific cloud resources
and their distribution. Fourth is cloud provider and cross-platform APIs for multiple
number of providers and platforms. One of the key decisions for a company is to
choose the right interface or the combination of interfaces.

number of challenges that the cloud API market is currently facing. Organizational
data which is stored on cloud platforms becomes vulnerable to theft and external
breaches. Key issues surrounding cloud APIs are maintenance and documentation.
Some cloud APIs have not defined the schema and operations clearly which has
made it difficult for a user to understand the end version. Another key challenge is
that cloud APIs do not support server initiated notifications inherently. Moreover,
conversation states must be maintained for specific APIs which in turn results in
reduced scalability and failure to recovery. Query language offered for cloud APIs is
limited and insufficient for developers. In addition, making changes to Cloud APIs is
a complex procedure that requires changes on both the ends i.e. client and server.

At present, cloud APIs are more accessible and intelligent to developers, owing to
the increased power of analytics and cloud technologies. APIs deliver exceptional
user experience. Speech recognition and cognitive computing are a few more
applications of Cloud APIs. These developments are providing developers numerous
opportunities aided by the growing mobile market. Easy-to-use developer tools are
being developed to build better APIs.
Some of the major players in the global Cloud API market are Citrix Systems, Inc.,
Amazon Web Services, Inc., Google Inc., International Business Machines
Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Zend Technologies Ltd, Rackspace Inc., VMware,
Inc., and CA Technologies, Inc.
