Building a Reusable API Platform With WSO2 API ManagerCategory: Software, Business, Data, artificial-intelligence
Application Programming Interface or APIs are the digital connectors that connect your business with the digital world which is out there. The consumers are interacting with your business to get products and services through digital means (mobile phones, tabs, computers, terminals, etc).
With the governance in place, everyone can get an understanding of what other people are doing and if there is already an API is available to access certain information, developers can reuse those APIs rather than building from scratch.
When the APIs are exposed to external consumers and partners, you can again reap the benefits of reusability by exposing the same set of APIs to multiple users with different access controls using features such as OAuth2.0 scopes that are supported by WSO2 API Manager.
One of the best ways you can show the real value of an API program is to showcase the advantages of building reusable APIs that can help your business in limitless ways to reach far out customers and improve the efficiency of IT cost in terms of software and people.
