The API economy represents the strategic shift where companies leverage APIs as a competitive advantage to expand and enhance their business models. By doing so, they unlock scalability and foster growth through the power of community-driven innovation.

 

This applies not only to highly technical businesses, where the API itself may be the core product, but also to non-technical companies that creatively use APIs to extend their distribution and reach new markets.
