    In recent years, API adoption has exploded among developers, for reasons that this book will examine. But the purpose of this book is not to discuss how to deliver an API but to rather how to scale the business side to meet this rising developer demand. Written by someone with an engineering and a business background, The Business of APIs also aims to bridge the technical and the business aspects of API development. This book serves to help people understand what APIs are, who uses them, and the different types of APIs that are available. As the title suggests, this is a business-oriented book. Nonetheless it does seek to educate users about what types of technologies go into popular Web APIs. The book also surveys the history of modern Web APIs and examines how they’ve been used successfully. If you are considering launching an API, this book should help you understand the common stumbling blocks that have been faced by many API owners -- then hopefully you can avoid them. The book will also identify common building blocks used by API owners, building blocks that should be fundamental for your API planning and development. The Business of APIs highlights what it takes to be successful in providing quality Web APIs and points to some of the innovative steps new businesses are taking with their APIs -- all in an effort to build vibrant API ecosystems and healthy businesses.
