To how many products does this article apply? Only super huge platform products, like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Dropbox and Uber, right? Perhaps 2 or 3 high-business services. Google services have super limited APIs, Airbnb has none, WhatsApp has none. All other APIs are unmonetizable.
- junto 11y agoI work on a product that uses several third party, paid APIs. - postcode lookups - sending email - sending SMS - multi-hop route planning - engineer appointment scheduling
- fiatjaf 11y agoThis is not the kind of API the article is about. These are paid services that happen to be accessible through APIs, not API ecosystems.
