This post is a reference to one of the articles I curated for the API Magazine. Below is a short intro.
Over the past several months I have been doing some thesis building around the API economy. I want to pause to share some initial thoughts…
Manfred Bortenschlager’s comment:
A word on verticalisation of APIs:
“An area of this growing landscape that has caught my attention is companies offering specialized APIs that address the needs of developers within a particular industry.”
According to this article APIs are emerging in industries, which:
– Are large;
– Are fragmented;
– Have unique data security concerns; and
– Are seeing increasing levels of startup activity, despite being historically slow to adopt technology.
