Twitter to end free access to its API

Feb 2

This one will be interesting to watch! I cannot help but thinking that making #API access paid either will not be a significant source of revenue, or it will become prohibitively expensive for too many, shrinking the size of the ecosystem. How will it end?

techcrunch.com

Twitter said today that it's shutting down free access to its APIs from February 9. Devs won't be able to access both the v2 and v1.1.

Feb 1

It's just like the more relatable question: Who *wants* a computer or a phone? Most of us want what those things allow us to do. Unless you're in the snake oil business, don't sell or create tech; always focus on jobs to be done and outcomes that help with getting them done.

"Show me what you want, what you really really want." Most companies don't *want* APIs per se, they want the business outcomes they enable. According to @dret, API strategies should take a product management approach with this in mind. nordicapis.com/taking-a-produ

API Marketing: Improving success for your API Products

Feb 1

API Marketing! It still seems like for many that's a slightly foreign idea because if you build it they will come, right? Maybe some will. But if you build #API products you want to maximize #ROI, so it makes business sense to be strategic about marketing!

We made it faster for merchants and our support teams to get context on API errors. This helps a great deal for support teams to track down exactly which API request users are referring to. Now, the request_log_url token links to the exact API request log that failed.
