The key dimensions to measure the quality of open APIs are availability,
completeness, documentation, consistency, stability, tooling, and adoption.
The Postman API Network is an amazing tool to make your API available to
millions of developers—with the supporting documentation—to increase
adoption and enhance your feedback loop.”
