About this video: 

Ryan Patrick, D&B Direct’s Director of Product Development, speaking on opening up their platform and how APIs has provided a way to help transform their business.

Key Points: 

• APIs often start as an internal product to help product development inside the company. Opening up the API enables companies to work with outside developers and helps that interaction more frictionless.
• Good documents, interfaces and code samples are important to provide to external developers.
• If you are monetizing your API, then plan to have a flexible pricing plan.

If you want to be relevant as a company and you have data that developers and others want, if it’s not available through an API, they will go elsewhere to get it. Over time, you will be less competitive and less relevant in the marketplace.”
