I can't prove that with numbers, but oh yes, we think the API is one of our key "success" points!
One, the API helped us a great deal in terms of features / suporting different plattforms. Have a look: http://mite.yo.lk/en/platform/ http://mite.yo.lk/en/platform/ – this is only possible because of our API, we couldn't have done that by ourselves, with a tiny team.
Two, integrating 3rd party products helps to spread the word about your service, especially, when the customer base is a pretty different one.
Customer wise: a pretty decent part of our customers makes use of our API to integrate intranet tools and the like. And it's a plus to highlight that we don't lock the data of our customers in. But if they hadn't become customers if we didn't have an API? Not sure about that.
- nico 17y agoI guess that last question is pretty hard to answer, but from what you say I can tell there's a lot of value to your customers in the API, hence it looks likes it is worth it. Thank you for your reply and congratulations for your success, I hope you keep growing and being profitable!

We'll be working on time tracking data standards later this year in fact. P.S. You should integrate with FreshBooks. (Guess where I work :)
