Review: Winning in the API Economy

Winning in the API Economy by Steven Willmott

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



I picked this, an executive summary of API possibilities and concerns from 3scale, to research API management tool. While this is much too high level and brief to do more than help a business confirm an API is or is not the right move from them, it did help me see that API Management covers questions such as:

• How should different APIs be exposed and to whom?
• How should those services be secured?
• How should their usage be tracked?
• How are access rights managed?
• How do developers, partners and customers establish
their identity and get provisioned for the rights they need
for the API?
• How does an organization ensure success for the users
of its APIs?

(3scale kindly pushed the sales spiel of to page 60 of 69.)
