ASC 2019 - API Specifications Conference

The talk provides an insight into the way OpenAPI Specification can be enhanced in order for a Product Managers to provide the Economic Model (EM), Business Context (BC) and Business Metrics (BM) for an API as part of the definition.

The talk focusses on how these enhancements to the specification would ensure that the API Definition is able to address –

1.Scenarios in which the API can be used
2.Economic models for the API
3.API Policies Management - Quota, Metering etc
4.Non-functional requirements for SLA adherence

These enhancements when incorporated would allow for users to understand the API constraints better and help Enterprises to boost API Economy and create Enterprise Ecosystems. When used with ML and AI algorithms it allows middleware applications (Eg:API Gateways) to be able to dynamically determine the API for a given context(API Curation)
