This document summarizes key trends in the open API market based on data from ProgrammableWeb.com. It finds that the growth of APIs is accelerating, with over 3,200 APIs currently listed. The most competitive categories have dozens of APIs. It also discusses the rise of simplicity in APIs, with REST and JSON becoming increasingly dominant. Finally, it explores business models for APIs, noting some companies are focusing exclusively on their API as the product rather than accompanying websites.
Don't let broken APIs get you down. This talk looks at how API Ops, a new wave in DevOps, lets you design, build, test and release APIs more rapidly, frequently and reliably. Whether you're building public facing APIs, internal APIs, or building a microservices architecture, API Ops can help. We look at how the whole API lifecycle, the API tools, and the API teams all fit together to build better APIs and services.
What's a good API business model? If you have an API, or you plan to have an open API, or just want to use APIs in your web or mobile app, what models make sense? See 20 different API business models. This comprehensive survey of the gamut of today's options covering anything from paid to getting paid to indirect.
What do you mean by “API as a Product”?Nordic APIs
You may have heard the term “API Product.” But what does it mean? In this talk I will introduce the concept and explain the benefits and challenges of transforming your organization to view your APIs as measurable products that expose your companies capabilities creating agility, autonomy, and acceleration. Traditional product manufacturers create new product and launch them into the marketplace and then measure value; we will teach you to view your APIs in the same way. Concepts covered in this presentation will be designing APIs with Design Thinking, funding your product, building teams, marketing your API, managing your marketplace, and measuring success.
APIs used to be a technical implementation detail reserved for developers and architects. In the Web age, APIs make more business sense than ever before. This presentation gives a ring side view of How to Craft Business Strategy around APIs.
API-first design - Basis for an consistent API-Management approachSven Bernhardt
Intuitive API design is a critical success factor for APIs. API-First propagates a collaborative approach, where API development starts with the design and brings various stakeholders together, which dramatically increases efficiency and consistency while defining APIs. Questions that that come up in this area are about quality requirements APIs have to meet nowadays, in order to deliver the desired business value. In this session we want to present an approach how APIs can be defined and implemented consistently using tools like Apiary and Apimatic and the design artifacts can be incorporated in existing CI/CD pipelines, using tools like Dredd, since APIs are a first-class citizen which need to be maintained appropriately.

KPIs for APIs (and how API Calls are the new Web Hits, and you may be measuri...John Musser
How do you measure API success? What KPIs do APIs need? What mistakes should I avoid? Find out what you should, and shouldn't, be measuring as part of your API program in this Business of APIs Conference NYC talk. Dive into a breadth of API metrics, the 6 keys to better API metrics, and the traps to beware of (the important do's and don'ts). Also real-world API case studies show who measures what.
Apigee's Ed Anuff and Bala Kasiviswanathan will discuss how these forces inform and drive the Apigee product roadmap. Join Ed and Bala for a preview of how Apigee will deliver on its product goals, including a common stack that enables us to address our customers' multi-cloud opportunity. Learn how we'll help companies transition to the PaaS/cloud-native future, how we'll leverage Google's OSS presence, and how we will continue to emphasize the needs of developers.
Do you want to scale your API program? Do you want to create new business opportunities with developers and partners? If so, monetization might be the right strategy for you.
Monetization is influencing how APIs are delivered. It provides the flexibility to generate different API consumption models for developers, and it opens opportunities to derive value from APIs, for developers and for partners.
Learn about:
- Monetization trends and best practices
- The industries that leverage API monetization today
- The future of monetization

APIs are everywhere today and can be a great building block of modern applications. But all too often APIs are not truly great. Rather than love your API, developers curse it. How can you avoid that fate? In this session we'll look at the most common mistakes API providers make and you can avoid making them too. Do you offer a bad developer experience (DX)? Poor, inconsistent API design? Unreliable services? This talk is a deep dive on not just what to avoid but what to do instead. And you'll leave knowing how to get developers to love your API, not hate it.

API Model Canvas (APIDays Mediterranea 2015)3scale
Manfred presented the API Model Canvas at APIDays Mediterranea in Barcelona on May 6, 2015.
Designing and running an API program successfully is difficult and goes far beyond technical challenges. In this talk, he covered several critical elements which make an API program successful -- or not. Examples include: objectives of the API, design, developer experience, partners, resources, cost, or generated value.
He also demonstrated an interactive tool, which supports the thinking process for designing and running successful API programs: the API Model Canvas
With special guests Ron Ratovsky and Darrel Miller from the OpenAPI Initiative's Technical Steering Committee, this SmartBear webinar session covered the history of Swagger and the OpenAPI Specification, and all the latest changes in OAS 3.1.
How can you be confident that your code is well-tested? For me, the criteria are straightforward: you feel comfortable deploying it automatically to production on a Friday evening, and the release pipeline stays as green as an evergreen tree. In this talk, I'll share some approaches that I am following to hit both targets for Node.js apps (APIs BFFs, etc)
Are your APIs becoming too complicated and ad hoc? Feeling the need to set up policies for your API? This presentation will give you strategy options for designing and developing your APIs.

The Business of APIs: Lessons from building the world's largest API Marketplace
Jed Ng, Tech & API Investor
With the ever increasing growth of mobile applications and API technologies the topics of identity management, authentication and authorisation are as important as ever. The technologies mean that those responsible for identity management and security increasingly have more to consider when deploying and enforcing security. With rapid time to market demands from the business there is much to consider when delivering an open but secure environment for the business and their users.
This session will look at some of the considerations and issues faced in designing and delivering IdM in this emerging space. We will look at how topics such as OAuth, OpenID connect and single sign on play their part in these policies and how governance plays a key role alongside security to protect the environment.
