Partner API Programs (If You Aren’t, Your Competition Is)

Enterprise API environments have changed. Driven by the explosion of APIs, federation of API programs, and push to the cloud, companies are rethinking their entire developer tooling and infrastructure stack. APIs are the fundamental building blocks of modern software, and with the advent of digital initiatives, they are growing in prevalence through the architecture.

This webinar examines the evolution of the API development platform and current best practices engineered to support the explosion in APIs in the modern organization. Ahmad will examine the key technologies required to build a modern API stack that is integrated across the entire software development lifecycle, enabling organizations to bring products and services to market more rapidly.

Key Components of the Modern API Stack

Driving rapid innovation with an “API first” engineering strategy will deliver first-mover advantages that will overrun your competition and deliver innovative and value-adding solutions that can redefine your market. Underpinning this innovation are the information resources that your organization has on hand or has access to. 

In the emerging and maturing world of data regulation, you must know: 
- What data you have
- How you are using the data
- Whether you can legally use the data and information

If you can’t answer these fundamental questions, you run the risk of non-compliance to regulatory data requirements, which can be a business-ending event.

This talk examines these issues and provides recommendations for ensuring API and data security across your organization.

Data Privacy and Security Challenges When Building an "API-First" Strategy

This webinar we will cover: 

-Best practices for assessing and resourcing the people and tooling to support API products.
-How to set clear objectives for your internal and external API programs and the metrics to evaluate them.
-Guidance on building and implementing internal rollout and external GTM plans.

Best Practices for Using APIs to Achieve your Digital Business Goals

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have emerged as a key component of enterprise modernization efforts. As the connective tissue linking systems and data, APIs play a crucial role in making enterprise systems and services more responsive and adaptable, while enabling companies to monetize their data, cultivate partnerships, and unlock innovation. 

With the proliferation of APIs across the enterprise comes a new set of challenges, necessitating an API strategy that encompasses the full API cycle from private to public APIs. With the API economy projected to be upward of $2 trillion in the next few years, companies are scrambling to quickly build an effective API program.

Join RapidAPI Founder and CEO Iddo Gino as he:

-Describes the rise of APIs and details the types of APIs that companies are consuming today.
-Examines the challenges organizations encounter with managing a range of APIs.
-Details the five components required for building an API strategy that aligns to your company’s business and technical goals.

Nearly half of all developers report they are working on partner APIs. The question is  – are they working on APIs for your business? You know you need more partners adopting your APIs and building applications and services with those APIs to extend your business’s reach. And you know that just exposing your APIs to partners is not enough – you also need to deliver a developer experience that helps them get up and running and keeps them engaged in your ecosystem. ​​

In this session we will explore: 
- The key requirements to prepare APIs to be discovered and consumed by partners 
- How to drive direct and indirect revenue from partners and monetize your APIs 
- Best practices for governance of partner API access and usage

Externalize Your Innovation: How to Share and Collaborate on APIs with Partners

In this demo, we will take a look at how RapidAPI Enterprise Hub allows organizations to accelerate innovation, scale impact, and optimize API based development.

API Testing is often viewed as an exercise in quality assurance - but its uses and benefits extend well beyond quality control. Sitting between the UI and infrastructure, APIs sit at the point where they can provide the team insights into the performance, reliability, and functionality of their software. Through a script-friendly, highly customizable visual building tool, these insights can empower technical and non-technical users alike – enabling every organization to test and deliver high quality APIs rapidly.

This webinar will cover:

- The role and benefits of API testing across the tech stack and different types of users, developers, QA testers and product managers.
- Key requirements to look for in a visual API testing tool
- How RapidAPI Testing makes it easy to build and customize API tests for every type of user

How To Maximize API Testing Effectiveness With An Intuitive User Experience

With APIs taking center stage in organizations of all sizes, testing them is becoming more imperative. The central role they play also means API testing offers great advantages in bolstering software quality. APIs - being contractual and fixed in nature, also afford an opportunity to create stable and easy to maintain tests. For all these reasons - API testing should be top of mind for every modern software team. 

Join RapidAPI Testing Product Owner, Stanis Giovanni, for a practical webinar where he dives deeper into: 

-Why so many enterprises are prioritizing API testing
-8 best practices for modern API testing.
-How RapidAPI Testing helps with comprehensive testing from development through deployment.

Intro to RapidAPI Testing

Asynchronous APIs like Kafka are becoming increasingly popular when working with distributed applications and microservices that are managing big tasks or processing streams of events.  Asynchronous APIs don't wait for the API call to return from the server, rather they provide a callback when the resource is ready. Async APIs are starting to be used in many different architectures, and adoption of them has in fact more than tripled since 2019. 

In this webinar, RapidAPI Founder and CEO, Iddo Gino will: 

-  Look at asynchronous APIs and their role in event-driven architectures. 
-  Define when to use them and when not to.
-  Describe how to choose the right Asynchronous API.
-  Examine five best practices when working with Async APIs.
