Developers working in the financial services industry are twice as likely to be working on partner-facing APIs in 2021 as compared to a year ago according to https://stateofapis.com/. Overall, 74% work on APIs that are only for internal company usage, 49% work on third-party APIs that are subscribed to, and 44% work on partner-facing APIs that the company exposes to others. Each type of API has its own requirements for https://thenewstack.io/category/api-management/, documentation, testing and security. Developers working on APIs also have to manage internal expectations that APIs are going to be used to generate revenue as 41% of organizations are now monetizing APIs, up from 34% in 2020.
