API Engagement is described below. The other products are described in
API Management On Premises.
API Engagement is a developer outreach program that helps API providers grow their API business and revenues. With API Engagement, API providers can build an ecosystem in which to proactively promote, market, and launch APIs. Developers are the organic evangelists for an organization to spread the word and make an API provider more popular. With API Engagement, providers can engage the developer community to foster collaboration, run campaigns, and evangelize API usage and adoption. For example, API providers can do the following:
Create, manage, and judge API hackathons. An API hackathon is a design sprint-like event in which developers, graphic designers, interface designers, project managers, and others collaborate intensively to create a functioning product.
Conduct customized beta-programs for testing APIs in a beta state. API providers expose APIs in
API Engagement, and API consumers collaboratively test those APIs by building apps. The API consumers then give feedback and raise defects.
