API First (Glossary)

Automation Digital transformation eCommerce and digital commerce Internet of Things Sanjay Sauldie Glossary

The term API First is at home in the areas of digital transformation, the Internet of Things, eCommerce and digital commerce.

API First means that when developing new software, the so-called "interface" - i.e. the API (Application Programming Interface) - is planned and built first. This interface ensures that different programmes or devices can communicate with each other easily and reliably.

For companies that offer digital products or online services, the API First approach has many advantages. Instead of building software first and then creating a connection to other systems later, API First ensures openness and flexibility right from the start. This makes subsequent expansion and customisation much easier and saves time and money.

An illustrative example: An online shop is planning a new app. If it takes an API First approach, the interface is developed first, via which the app receives all data such as products, prices and customer information. This means that, in addition to an app, a website, a partner platform or even a smart home device can be easily connected later on. The company is therefore future-proof and flexible.
