An open API (Application Programming Interface) is openly or freely accessible application programming interface that offers developers with programmatic access to proprietary software application. These are the set of requirements that administrate the way an application will interact and communicate with another. Open application programming interface also allows developers to access definite internal functions of a program. Moreover, it aid an individual software to interact with another software. This technology is used both by the developers outside the organization who wish to register access to the interface or developers inside the organization that published the application programming interface. Open APIs are free for everyone to use, backed by open data and are based on an open standard. Some of the well-known open application programming interface are Twilio, eBay and Youtube’s API.
Urgency of creating business models is one of the important factors bolstering the demand of global application programming interface market. APIs are the components that allows diverse platforms, systems and apps to share and connect data with one another. Application programming interface are important for customizing and defining graphical user interface.
Moreover, cloud platform providers too have wide-ranging APIs defined and functions in close collaboration with development partners to tweak the application performance. Customer centric development is another important factor boosting the demand of open application programming interface across the world during the forecast period. Organizations are emphasizing strong focus on the customers demand and are responsible for how the quality of the APIs turns out is important.

Moreover, growing numbers of third party mobile applications is also an important factor responsible for the growth of the global application programming interface market during the forecast period. If a company’s API is used by the third party developers, it will increase the revenue generation. It helps the API developers to capitalize on their existing assets i.e. hardware and software. It will also help the API providers to reach out to a greater customer base through different partners without experiencing huge distribution cost.
Uncertainty and vulnerability of the third party apps in terms of security is one of the major restraining factors in the global application programming interface market. Since the third party developers gets access to the company’s API, there is an increasing chance of threat levels and opportunities for the cyber criminals to exploit the weaknesses in banking system and online payment. There are intrinsic weaknesses in the APIs that communicate with back- end systems and transfer data. Moreover, continuous exposure to the internet makes them easy to probe. Additionally, insecure web browsers leave the API and UI exposed to attack.
