To the content…
“Data is becoming the new raw material of 
business.” Chris Lynch and/or Craig Mundie 
“Data really powers everything we do.” Jeff 
Weiner
Good user interfaces are hard to build 
You often need to move data around 
Speed can be critical 
Multiple parties may need access
APIs make this happen 
- the interfaces to data that 
deliver its value
Examples 
Xignite’s realtime MarketData – 
over 500 Streams 
Aetna Carepass Restful API to 
Read/Write patient data 
Realtime fleet management 
& Long term analytics 
Realtime pricing in Retail
So APIs complement data … what 
does this mean?
Think of your data (and 
inferences) as a product, and 
APIs as distribution
For both internal and 
external consumption
Data “product thinking”
Data Close Up 
Inferred 
Data 
Raw Read / 
Write 
Control 
Interfaces
Four Key Questions 
• What am I Exposing? 
• Who to? 
• Why? 
• How?
These are critical for APIS
Q1: What am I Exposing? 
What? 
Single Entries, 
Dumps, Streams Raw 
Insight 
Projections, Alerts, 
Aggregations 
Control 
Settings, Params, 
Config, Schemas
Q2: Who to? 
Who? 
Departments, 
C-Team, 
Automated Sys 
Internal 
Customer Users, Buyers 
Partner 
Suppliers, 
Distributors, 
Resellers
Q3: Why? 
Agility 
Scale 
Stickiness 
Add Value 
Direct 
Monetization 
OffBoarding 
Transparency 
Configurability

Q4: How? 
Tier Based 
Tech 
Business 
Free 
Unit Based 
Tier Dependent 
Flat Rate 
Feature Based 
Message Bus 
SOAP 
REST* 
Post REST 
Streaming 
Proprietary
Examples

Internal Customer Partner 
Insight 
Control 
Reach / Scale 
Value / Complexity 
(Main focus of each company – many companies cover multiple cases)
Example: Customer Insight 
Sticky High Value 
Monetization 
Reach 
Education & 
Customer Onboard 
Traffic Scale 
Compute & Storage Cost

Example: Customer Control

Summary
Key Take-away: 
Your data is a product: think 
hard about packaging, 
distribution (APIs)
Implications 
• Answer the four questions 
• This will determine your likely benefits and pain 
points 
• Short term hacks around these pain points will 
probably kill the value of what you are doing 
• There is a lot of value to created!
Go forth and unleash your data!

APIs and Unlocking the Value of Your Data - Strata Barcelona 2014

  • 1. APIs and Unlocking the Value of Your Data Steven Willmott 3scale Inc. @3scale - http://www.3scale.net
  • 2. Powering 450+ APIs Billions API Calls / Month Flexible Scalable API Infrastructure: http://3scale.net @3scale Also see http://www.apitools.com/ me: @njyx on twitter
  • 4. “Data is becoming the new raw material of business.” Chris Lynch and/or Craig Mundie “Data really powers everything we do.” Jeff Weiner
  • 5. Good user interfaces are hard to build You often need to move data around Speed can be critical Multiple parties may need access
  • 6. APIs make this happen - the interfaces to data that deliver its value
  • 7. Examples Xignite’s realtime MarketData – over 500 Streams Aetna Carepass Restful API to Read/Write patient data Realtime fleet management & Long term analytics Realtime pricing in Retail
  • 8. So APIs complement data … what does this mean?
  • 9. Think of your data (and inferences) as a product, and APIs as distribution
  • 10. For both internal and external consumption
  • 12. Data Close Up Inferred Data Raw Read / Write Control Interfaces
  • 13. Four Key Questions • What am I Exposing? • Who to? • Why? • How?
  • 14. These are critical for APIS
  • 15. Q1: What am I Exposing? What? Single Entries, Dumps, Streams Raw Insight Projections, Alerts, Aggregations Control Settings, Params, Config, Schemas
  • 16. Q2: Who to? Who? Departments, C-Team, Automated Sys Internal Customer Users, Buyers Partner Suppliers, Distributors, Resellers
  • 17. Q3: Why? Agility Scale Stickiness Add Value Direct Monetization OffBoarding Transparency Configurability
  • 18. Raw Internal Customer Partner Insight Control Transparency Monetization Offboarding Agility Stickiness Configurabilit y Reach Value
  • 19. Raw Internal Customer Partner Insight Control Bandwidth $ Compute $ Risk Coupling Training Value Capture Scale Complexity
  • 20. Q4: How? Tier Based Tech Business Free Unit Based Tier Dependent Flat Rate Feature Based Message Bus SOAP REST* Post REST Streaming Proprietary
  • 22. Raw Internal Customer Partner Insight Control Reach / Scale Value / Complexity (Main focus of each company – many companies cover multiple cases)
  • 23. Example: Customer Insight Sticky High Value Monetization Reach Education & Customer Onboard Traffic Scale Compute & Storage Cost https://www.fullcontact.com/developer/
  • 24. Example: Customer Control Sticky High Value Customizable Agility Education & Customer Onboard Risk Complexity & Scale http://www.johnsoncontrols.com/content/us/en/products/building_efficiency/building/panoptix.html
  • 25. Raw Internal Customer Partner Insight Control Reach / Scale Value / Complexity (Main focus of each company – many companies cover multiple cases)
  • 27. Key Take-away: Your data is a product: think hard about packaging, distribution (APIs)
  • 28. Implications • Answer the four questions • This will determine your likely benefits and pain points • Short term hacks around these pain points will probably kill the value of what you are doing • There is a lot of value to created!
  • 29. Go forth and unleash your data! steve@3scale.net @njyx, @3scale Find us online at: http://www.3scale.net/ http://apitools.com/

Editor's Notes

  1. [Web growth curve] Web development also went for Artesan (read text editor) to “mass produced”. The type, power and reach of the mass production changed over time.
