“Think about the digital marketplaces that emerged over the last 20 or 30 years — Amazon, eBay, Alibaba. You can buy things there. It’s not just a catalog where you then place an order. This is the digital way.”

Use an API digital products tier to your business advantage

APIs are a powerful tool for enabling digital products. The question is how.

That’s where an API digital products tier enters the picture. This business services tier sits above the technical services tier and provides a place for API search and discovery. API providers have the necessary visibility and control, while consumers can interact with API products.

Connecting the API provider and consumer experience allows these two sides to work better together. This alignment helps accelerate API delivery and drive API adoption. With API adoption comes new monetization opportunities — both direct and indirect.

Discover how to take your consumer experience to the next level with an API digital products tier.
