Hi I'm Arun Dorairajan. I'm a principal solutions architect at Axway
and we are here at the API World, the biggest API convention and expo.
What I'm going to do today
is I'm going to go ahead and start asking people what the future of APIs is.
So please come along and join me in this journey.
Hi, we're with Shannon here at Smart Bear.
Shannon what do you think is the future of APIs?
The future of APIs is frankly everything. They're connecting the world.
I mean think about all of the different uses:
we have people connected far and wide more than ever before.
We have more and more objects becoming, using APIs
Internet of Things I mean it's really
connecting people connecting things
making people's lives better through
technology that's the power of APIs
Thank you, thank you.
We are with VS Joshi asking you what do you see is the future of APIs?
Hi everybody my name is VS, VS Joshi.
I'm the founder of a company
called TrintMe and we had built an
app we had built a Facebook app and we
consumed the Facebook API is to build an app.
Unfortunately Facebook deprecated its
APIs and the moment it deprecated its
APIs our value proposition was
completely lost so that is the reason
why I'm here just to understand okay how
do you safeguard yourself from the
platform deprecating their APIs, not
sharing the information which they were
sharing earlier.
I'm with Natalia here, how are you?
enjoying the show so far?
I am. Lots of great companies.
Great. What do you think of being here for a while
what do you think about the future of APIs?
I think that APIs certainly have a
future and they are a very important
part of developments taking place in the
next decade and coupled together with
these security measures the CRMs and AI , blockchain,
can actually secure the data that we use bit of the data that we use and make it
a less threatened by attacks. So putting
these things and these kinds of categories will let technology be less scary
and more usable for us and a lot of peace of mind. I hope so.
Thank you, that's awesome. Thank you so much.
For me the future of APIs is focused
less on technology more what they can
actually do for you and how they're
going to change our work our lives
I hope that - I'm fed up with the fact as
a consumer that too much of my life is
disjointed - disjointed bits of technology
I want APIs to bring that all
together and make my life better and technology to make my life better.
I'm not so sure I know the future of APIs
but I do know that digital
transformation projects are driven by
API infrastructures and at the intelligence
we focus on using AI to understand
precisely our every API is accessed and used.
And that makes sense you know
people are not thinking about security
as much they're just building APIs the
future you have AI artificial intelligence to protect this API is in a
proactive manner not reactive but a more proactive matter.
That's right and the
idea is to know precisely how every API
is accessing use so that you can have
the visibility to recognize when
something is not normal anymore and the
beauty with the integration we've done
with Axway is the ability to block
Thank you.
well what do you think in the future of
api's so yeah I think ap eyes are
definitely becoming very relevant in the
everyday world and I believe as a QA we
need to make sure those APIs are
giving the correct data and not exposing
anything or allowing any type of
security risk so the future of APIs I
believe we're all need to be very
cognizant of what we're exposing out
there and also what we're allowing
people to access so yeah I feel like as
API producers we should be cognizant of
that that we're not the only people
using APIs that everyday people are
gonna start using them and we should be
very cognizant of that.
That's awesome and that's why we use
Axway's API management solution.
Secures your APIs and like a little I
was just talking we need to do that
because that's the future the future of
APIs is to make them secure and make sure
that your consumers are getting the
right set of data with the right set of
authentication authorization. Thank you
