API discovery has been one of the slower-moving aspects of doing APIs over the last decade due to the fact it is something that means many different things to many different people, depending on what their relationship to an API is. Defining what the meaning for API discovery goals are, acknowledging there are many different perspectives on what is API discovery, and knowing what it involves to move the conversation around it forward has proved challenging for the enterprise — pushing API platforms to step back and work to establish some goals around why they need to invest in API discovery and who will be better served by improving upon API discovery mechanisms.
When Streamdata.io works with clients on their API discovery efforts, we always sit them down to discuss exactly what their goals were when it comes to discovering new and existing APIs across the landscape. Here are the areas we focus on when talking about the reasons behind API discovery across the enterprise.
