"Successful digital companies not only build great software, but also create and participate in digital ecosystems. Whether they’re digital natives like Google, Twilio, and Stripe, or established enterprises like Walgreens, Ticketmaster, and Pitney Bowes, companies build successful digital platforms by fostering a thriving ecosystem of developers and partners. The 2017 State of APIs report identifies factors that contribute to building successful digital platforms and explores how enterprises can build or participate effectively in digital ecosystems. This report was built based on the hundreds of billions of 2014-2016 API calls in the Apigee Cloud from hundreds of customers; it was augmented and surveys conducted with customers across a variety of verticals."
