Abstract: Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) have an enabling role in establishing digital ecosystems and coordinating digital interactions. A robust and performing technical infrastructure is crucial to ensure a sustainable thriving of digital environments. Within this backdrop, this report explores API-related technical essentials that organisations must consider when designing their digital agendas at tactical, implementation and operative levels. Specifically, it first describes good practices for the management of API software product development as well as for the coordination of API assets within an organisation. Then, it evaluates different mechanisms that foster the uptake of API services by external parties. Later, it describes the main security concerns that need to be tackled by API providers’ organisations to mitigate potential vulnerabilities in their ICT infrastructures. Last, the report describes novel technical solutions that deal with security and privacy issues jointly.
