Chuck Freedman gives a presentation on finding the right platform to innovate with APIs. He outlines 8 things to look for in a platform: 1) a welcoming API portal, 2) easy onboarding, 3) evidence of great support, 4) great documentation, 5) understanding of cost and value, 6) the platform's track record and future, 7) help getting started, and 8) willingness to embrace applications. Freedman provides examples for each criterion and emphasizes the importance of these factors for developers, customers and users of APIs.
