#ICYDK: Many of the enterprise groups we work with are struggling with API discovery and understanding where all the web services and web APIs exist across their internal groups. Most groups shave some sort of catalog or discovery service in operation depending on how far along they are in their API journey, but often times, they lack the scope and dedicated resources to deliver what is needed. Leaving business, as well as development groups struggling with how to find existing APIs, resulting in API duplication instead of reuse across the web and mobile applications serving the enterprise.
API discovery is not a destination, it is an ongoing aspect of API operations. It usually begins with the need to find all of a company’s digital resources and will require reaching out to every group within the enterprise to take ask for information on their APIs. Aggregating all documentation and other information about where web services and web APIs are located. Centralizing, and hopefully beginning to standardize how APIs are defined and documented so that they can be more easily included in a wider API discovery campaign. https://goo.gl/RsVWWK
