#ICYDK: Key Practices for Driving and Sustaining Adoption of APIs
After a decade of leading tech companies operating API programs and a little over five years of government agencies following their lead, a number of common practices emerged that helped drive the adoption of APIs and support relationships between provider and consumer. We spent some time talking to API providers about their approaches, while also bringing our existing research and experience to the table, and have collected our responses and analysis below.

Here are the key practices our interviewees provided for driving and sustaining the adoption of APIs. https://goo.gl/SuSNpQ
