Application programming interfaces (APIs) increasingly make the world go round. By enabling computer programmes to communicate with one another, they underpin many of the online products and services we’ve come to rely on. But there is a problem – as organisations create vast numbers of APIs, organising, managing and maintaining these tools has got more and more difficult.
That’s where Austin-based start-up DigitalAPICraft believes it has a bright future. It creates “API marketplaces” for organisations – a single portal or platform where the organisation can make all its APIs available, add tools to make partners’ lives easier, ensure security, and begin to work towards monetising their links.
