API World 2018

You’ve designed, tested, documented … and now you have a great API. Now what? In this talk, Abhinav will review his perspective on the best ways to take that great API, get it into the hands of developers, and become part of the API eco-system. Many of these tips start with the API itself: is the design developer-friendly? Is the API documentation useful, accurate, and kept up-to-date? Some are related to ongoing communication and updates: how often is the API updated, and how are changes communicated? Some are marketing-focused - where to be included: lists, marketplaces, exchanges? While focused on promoting a public API, many of the tips in this talk apply to private and internal APIs, which comprise the majority of APIs used today.
