The API Evangelist blog

A blog attempting to make sense of the technology, business, and politics of APIs since 2010

One of our favorite resources for API Docs information is the API Evangelist blog written by API enthusiast and evangelist, Kin Lane. The site hosts a collection of API-related content, including educational information for beginners (API 101) and a collection of information about API-first business strategies.

The API lifecycle is represented on the blog with each phase of the lifecycle — define > design > deploy > test > secure > deploy > observe > distribute — each having their own dedicated section on the site.

The history of APIs is documented on the site and there’s a handy timeline that allows you to see how today’s modern APIs came to be.
