Building a successful API requires more than just coding. It starts with collaborative design, focuses on creating a great developer experience, and ends with getting your company on board, maintaining consistency, and maximizing your API’s profitability. In the API Intersection, you’ll learn from experienced API practitioners who transformed their organizations, and get tangible advice to build quality APIs with collaborative API-first design. Jason Harmon brings over a decade of industry-recognized REST API experience to discuss topics around API design, governance, identity/auth versioning, and more. They’ll answer listener questions, and discuss best practices on API design (definition, modeling, grammar), Governance (multi-team design, reviewing new API’s), Platform Transformation (culture, internal education, versioning) and more. They’ll also chat with experienced API practitioners from a wide array of industries to draw out practical takeaways and insights you can use. Have a question for the podcast?

Navigating API Ecosystems: Equitable Governance and Development feat. Mark Boyd, Platformable

By this point, you all know governance is one of my favorite topics to dive deep into, and this week, API Intersection, we had the talented Mark Boyd, director of Platformable, join us for a discussion of just that. Mark was one of the early and prolific bloggers on the topic of APIs and the API economy. His journey took him from urban planning and health data systems to becoming a prominent figure in the API space.

Mark later founded Platformable, a Barcelona-based startup building data products and digital tools for a global audience of nonprofits, businesses, startups, and multilateral organizations focusing on developing open ecosystems through APIs.

Working with a multitude of nonprofits and government agencies, Mark has had a variety of experiences in creating APIs and governance programs that can fit the standards and qualifications needed by these agencies. Let's get to it.

Take a look at platformable.com to Mark and his team's work, and be sure to check out Mark on LinkedIn.
