Research on APIs in Platform Economy
summary
Literature review shows API research grows about 15–20% per year and clusters by co‑citation into CS, social science and business strands; concrete topics covered are API usability and developer experience, using machine learning to index large API catalogs, EU data‑sharing rules enabling third‑party markets, and simulation results that strong decoupling reduces performance so joint development alliances (Finnish cases) outperform isolated APIs, while the persistent open question is how platforms create sustainable partner value.
