Real World API Business Models That Worked
Mark Boyd, Writer, ProgrammableWeb
What business revenue models are most successful for API providers seeking to build active third-party developer communities? How much can an API act to leverage revenue growth and market share, and what timeline for success is realistic? This presentation goes beyond the theory to share some initial data on what businesses are experiencing when implementing an API strategy.
This presentation summarizes the critical success factors from 15 API business case studies including:
- Type of business model used and revenue-share data against cost estimations
- What developer engagement strategies grew API usage the fastest
- What factors reduced churn rate amongst third-party developers
- Developer onboarding timeframe
- What factors influenced internal support for an API strategy
"How to create an efficient API.. with a business model?" by Nicolas GreniéTheFamily
A common mistake when discussing API business models is to think of the API first. But everyone should consider how an API will interact with a business model.
We will answer to the following questions:
What is an API? Which business model can you include in an API? How to use the canvas model to build a badass API?
Nicolas Grenié is a Hacker in Residence at 3scale living between Barcelona and San Francisco. He built his first website in 2000 using Microsoft Word, and since them did not stop learning about programming. Nicolas likes to try new languages all the time, so he has experience in PHP, Ruby and Node. When not working you have a good chance to find him hacking on side projects or enjoying a good craft beer. And of course, as he is French, frog and snails are part of his daily diet!
Sachin Agarwal, SOA Software VP of Product Marketing, explains the frenzy around the mass development and adoption of APIs. In this presentation, he describes the business and technology implications of developing an API stratgy.

Considerations For an API Strategy - Ronnie MItra API Architect Layer 7 Londo...CA API Management
API Management is becoming increasingly important as more and more organisations need to expose their data and application functionality to internal and external developers. Exposing APIs empowers these organisations to engage customers in innovative new ways, create new revenue opportunities and transform their businesses into platforms. But how do you ensure your APIs are exposed securely? How do you create, maintain and update different versions of your APIs? How do you throttle usage, meter requests and monitor API health?

Your API Deserves More Respect: Make It A Product
Andrew Seward, Technical Product Manager, Esendex
Your API is a product in its own right - it has its own customer base, its own target market, customer journeys, interface considerations, profit margins, features, bugs, strengths and weaknesses. That idea is an easy sell for most of us here, but how do you get your whole company on board, particularly when many of your colleagues haven't heard of APIs before? I will share my experience of changing how Esendex thinks about and approaches its API - where we were with our API and how we went about raising it to be our main product. What worked, what didn't, what problems we encountered, how we overcame them and what we're still trying to figure out. We also want to hear from you and your experiences so we can all benefit from the conclusions you've drawn.

API Economy - The Making of a Digital BusinessAkana
In this presentation, Akana’s Laura Heritage will explore what it takes to make APIs work as the foundation of a successful digital business:
• What does it really mean to be a digital business?
• Examples of disruption happening across industries
• How APIs fit into a digital business
• What type of organization structure is needed for a digital business?
• New types of business models in the API Economy
• API security considerations for your digital business
The 90s were disruptive for traditional business models in the race for a web presence, today, application programming interfaces (APIs) are the new must-have for the companies to their customers and community. What has changed? Social Networks, Social Commerce, Social Content and the extensions of that: Facebook, Twitter, Amazon and eBay, leading us to the generational culture of "simple": User Applications Intelligent and targeted conveyed by Apple, Android, and other Store. Mobile devices are the new appendix and our applications are the currency of exchange….
This slide show is from my presentation on what JSON and REST are. It aims to provide a number of talking points by comparing apples and oranges (JSON vs. XML and REST vs. web services).
The IBM API Economy Journey Map helps guide users to understand where they are in the API economy. Measured across multiple factors and dimensions, you can better understand what areas are strong and where you may have some room for growth. With this knowledge in hand, you can take prescriptive steps to move forward to reach your API economy goals.

Introduction to The 6 Insights of API Practice (Bill Doerrfeld)Nordic APIs
This is a session given by Bill Doerrfeld at Nordic APIs 2016 Platform Summit on October 25th, in Stockholm Sweden.
Description:
At Nordic APIs, our goal is to help businesses make smart tech decisions using APIs. To that end, via events and content Nordic APIs has treaded the business and technical sides to consider holistic best practices for providing an API. In this introductory Summit keynote talk, I’ll introduce what we’ve learned in the form of 6 core tenants of API practice which we’ve also designed this conference to address. Together they define a functional and evolving API:
Platformification: Becoming an API-first company means undergoing a platformification process. This represents a global trend that many argue needs to be adopted to keep your business competitive within the digital economy.
Strategy: Even before development begins, it’s important to consider your core API strategy. This is a defensible position that aligns your tech with platform goals, strategically exposing internal assets catered to an industry niche.
Business Models: APIs have the power to improve efficiency, reduce overhead cost, open up complementary revenue streams, extend R&D, or even alter an existing business model entirely. Thus, you’ll want to determine the right monetization method that improves overall business and leads to end profitability.
Security: With new major data breaches reaching the public ear every month, the importance of digital security can never be underestimated. For APIs, much of that lies in monitoring usage, access management, and identity control.
Design: No developer wants to use an API with an ugly developer portal, unintuitive URL structures, outdated technology, or terrible lag time. In order to keep your developer consumer happy, paint the API portal and overall developer experience with an aesthetic brush.
Marketing: In order to spark adoption, you need to have more than awesome functionality. I’ll review evangelism and discovery techniques you can use to get an API in the hands of more developer users.
We’ll look at specific successful implementations of these philosophies in the wild, and mention examples from our blog and eBook content that have brought in industry experts to share their insights. I’ll initiate dialogue and open the conference up to see where we’re heading. What you can get out of embracing the core tenants of API practice?
Growth Hacking APIs: What role do APIs play in your growth strategy.
There’s been lots of buzz in the tech startup space about “growth hacking” – what is it? how is it related to development? how is it related to marketing?
At it’s core, growth hacking is about finding a strategy for growth within the parameters of scalability and replicability, driven by product and inspired by data. Growth hacking’s core is based in marketing but driven by product.
Once the definition is clear, the question then becomes: without a UI to lean on, how does one “growth hack” an API?
At last year’s Nordic API conference, Guillaume Balas from 3Scale presented several typologies of an API, namely API is the product, API projects the product, API promotes the product, and API powers the product.
This presentation will elaborate on and reframe those typologies in the context of marketing and growth hacking of an API. We will examine the circumstances where an API is actually a growth hack in of itself, and where it is in need of growth hacking in order to make the business model behind it succeed.
The presentation will use core concepts of strategic marketing – such as positioning, pricing, targeting, promotion, product and distribution – to create a framework for either growth hacking an API or developing an API as a key tactic in a growth strategy.
My opening keynote for the 2016 Nordic APIs Platform Summit held in Stockholm, Sweden. In it I describe the 6 Insights that guide Nordic APIs content and events, including API Platforms, API Strategy, API Business Models, API Strategy, API Design, API Security, and API Marketing.

API Marketing: First Comes Usability, Then DiscoverabilityBill Doerrfeld
How do we increase developer conversion? In this session, I cover some ways to market your API, on and offline. You'll learn the major directories and marketplaces to add your API to, and how to set up your service for machine-readable discover. I also discuss Search Engine Optimization (SEO) suggestions for developer portals, and API definitions like OpenAPI Specification. Lastly, I reiterate the importance of creating and sharing evergreen knowledge.
LF_APIStrat17_API Marketing: First Comes Usability, then DiscoverabilityLF_APIStrat
How would you market an API? Well, first you must design a usable service that caters to your developer experience. But even the best API needs a promotional boost. One way to do this is to maximize all routes toward making your interface naturally discoverable. In this presentation, I’ll outline strategies and tools that can be used to increase the exposure of an API, covering things like: * Examples of sandboxes, API playgrounds, and other types of usable interfaces found in well-designed dev portals throughout the API space. * Discoverability benefits of using machine readable API definitions. * Tooling that can aid in generating beautiful documentation and test consoles to appeal to developers. * Directory profiling: Increasing exposure in web API-specific directories like ProgrammableWeb, APIs.guru, and 10 others. * Content generation: Crafting search-engine-optimized descriptions of APIs from a copywriting sensibility and the power of graphic design trends and thought leadership to reinforce credibility. * Many other ideas on establishing communities and marketing APIs and SaaS on integral developer social channels.

Building A Business-Facing Mobile Developer CommunityProgrammableWeb
Building A Business-Facing Mobile Developer Community
Andy Jones, Technical Director EMEA, SOA Software
The proliferation of mobile apps has led to increased interaction between two previously separate groups: mobile app developers and corporate managers of enterprise systems. The API is the connector. Creating a developer community that serves your mobile strategy is a challenge on both technical and business levels. Mobile developers are essentially business partners, even if they do not see themselves as such and successfully engaging them will be key to delivering value from the API. In this presentation, we will discuss some proven practices that can ensure that businesses make the best use of APIs to extend themselves into the mobile realm:
Offering business capabilities that are important to partners
Tailoring APIs to each partner
Managing partner registration with workflow
Allowing partners to monitor and analyze their own API usage
Accelerating the process of externalizing applications
Securing the apps
Mediating transports protocols
Mark Boyd, Writer, ProgrammableWeb

Simon Phipps, President, Open Source Initiative
Open source is not about free stuff. It's a way of granting permission in advance so that innovation can happen without obstruction and so loose-knit communities can collaborate freely. As such, it's more important than ever in an age of APIs, devices and distributed web infrastructure.
This session will:
Explain the dynamics of open source licensing
Consider the relative merits of licensing "strengths" for IoT
Discuss the challenges of software patents to APIs and open collaboration.
Why API Security Is More Complicated Than You Think (and Why It’s Your #1 Pri...ProgrammableWeb
Why API Security Is More Complicated Than You Think (and Why It’s Your #1 Priority)
David Berlind, Editor-in-Chief, ProgrammableWeb
In the last year, the users of various social media services have had their accounts compromised due to API security related issues. ProgrammableWeb’s investigations into these transgressions reveals a degree of hacker sophistication that could never have been anticipated. The attacks were layered and complicated and one can only guess at the final objectives (but we have our hunches). In this presentation, ProgrammableWeb editor-in-chief reveals the sophistication of these attacks with a step-by-step walkthrough of what the perpetrators did and then offers a a layered-security prescription for preventing your organization, APIs, and applications from being similarly compromised.
Zohar Babin, Senior Director, Ecosystem and Community, Kaltura
While a great many API enthusiasts will tell you that achieving API utopia means re-architecting all of your applications (Web, mobile, or otherwise) on top of the same APIs that you make available to external developers, very few organizations have actually succeeded at doing what's necessary; turning their infrastructures inside out. Many organizations can't envision having the time, patience, or resources to fly a plane while the wings are being ripped-off and reinstalled. But open source video platform provider Kaltura pulled it off. As a result, Kaltura's core infrastructure -- back end servers, core applications, etc. --- rely on the same APIs that front-facing partners' applications rely on. The result was a highly flexible future-proof platform that enables customers, partners, developers and startups to rapidly extend the platform with innovative implementations that continuously push the limits of what Kaltura can do. In this presentation, Kaltura willl cover the principles of what makes a great, dogfoodable API, how to make it resilient, future-proof and yet backward compatible, and most importantly how to enable and support customers and partners looking to extend an API platform.

Pivoting Your Business From Product To PlatformProgrammableWeb
Marco Herbst, CEO, Evercam.io
The reason software can be so profitable is that nothing scales as well as code. Even before the Internet (back in the days of disk-based software distribution), the cost of manufacturing software were nil when compared to manufacturing and distributing a manufactured product. But what if a product company --- maybe your company --- could become a code company and scale like one too? Formerly a product company, Evercam saw in its product a chance to become a code company instead -- a chance to pivot from a product to a platform. In this session, Evercam founder Marco Herbst tells the story of how his product-first company converted itself into an API-first company instead. The company took on huge risk as it massively transformed its business, its offerings, and its customer base. Herbst will look back on that transition, explain the motivations for going all-platform, and draw some lessons for anybody looking to pivot a product business into an API-based platform business (or to build a new platform business from scratch).

DDD (Delight-Driven Development) Of APIs With RAMLProgrammableWeb
Uri Sarid, CTO, MuleSoft
API-first development is an approach in which the APIs between systems are designed and validated without requiring any implementation, and then form the requirements for implementing the API provider and consumer(s). RAML, the RESTful API Modeling Language (http://raml.org), is a relatively new open format for specifying web APIs. It’s distinguished by focusing on writeability as well as readability, on minimality and elegance, and on enabling and encouraging reusability and consistency of APIs. This makes RAML an ideal basis for API-first development. In particular, RAML is a fitting foundation for API initiatives whose success is predicated on delighting their customers: the developers who will be consuming the API. In this talk I’ll introduce RAML, API-first development, API design, and some tools that not only produce delightful APIs but are also delightful on their own. I hope you find this useful whether you’re just documenting existing APIs, looking to improve your APIs and their lifecycle, or embarking on new API initiatives.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
