4. History of APIs
The history of APIs is something I discuss a lot. The history of modern web APIs is
something I include in all my talks, and I'm always surprised by how little people understand
some of the more popular APIs that got us to where we are at.
To further support this area, I've launched a History of APIs section where I've hung the
stories I've already done in this area, and will be looking to dig up the history on other
APIs that are shaking things up.

5. When I'm talking to people about APIs, the term APIs can mean many different things.
Sometimes it means hardware APIs, or the Java API or various other technical incarnations.
Right now when you hear the term API, it probably means web API or an API built using REST, running on the
same infrastructure the World Wide Web runs on. When it comes to APIs, I strongly feel that to understand
where we are, we need to understand the short, modern history of the web APIs. There are several patterns
to why the modern web API movement has worked, that I think you can take
home and use in your own API strategy.

6. Commerce
While modern web APIs were officially born with Roy Fieldings dissertation Architectural Styles and the Design of
Network-based Software Architectures in Web APIs first appeared in the wild with the introduction of Salesforce on
February 7th, when the company officially launched its API at the IDG Demo 2000 conference. Salesforce was an
enterprise-class, web-based, sales force automation as a "Internet as a service", with XML APIs were part of Salesforce.com
from day one.

7. Later in the year, on November 20, 2000, eBay launched the eBay Application Program
Interface (API), along with the eBay Developers Program--which was originally rolled out to
only a select number of licensed eBay partners and developers.

8. Then on July 16, 2002, Amazon launched Amazon
Then on July 16, 2002, Amazon launched Amazon.com Web Services allowing developers to incorporate Amazon.com
content and features into their own web sites. Amazon.com Web Services (AWS) allowed third party sites to search and
display products from Amazon.com in an XML format.

9. Then on August 15th 2006, Facebook launched its long-awaited development platform and API. Version 1.0 of the
Facebook Development Platform allowed developers access to Facebook friends, photos, events, and profile information
for Facebook.

10. One month later on September 20, 2006 Twitter introduced the Twitter API to the world. Much like the release of the eBay
API, Twitter's API release was in response to the growing usage of Twitter by those scraping the site or creating rogue APIs.

11. At the same time Facebook and Twitter were playing with the social powers of web APIs, Google was exploring the
power of web APIs supporting embeddable tools and apps. The Google Maps API launched was just shy of 6 months
after the release of Google Maps as an application, and was in direct response to the number of rogue applications
developed that were hacking the application. Google Maps was immediately so popular that developers hacked the
JavaScript interface and developed application such as housingmaps.com and chicagocime.org.

14. What An API Is and Why It's Valuable
Websites are designed to cater to people's strengths. Humans have an incredible ability to take visual information, combine it
with our experiences to derive meaning, and then act on that meaning. It's why you can look at a form on a website and know
that the little box with the phrase "First Name" above it means you are supposed to type in the word you use to informally
identify yourself. Yet, what happens when you face a very time-intensive task, like copying the contact info for a thousand
customers from one site to another? You would love to delegate this work to a computer so it can be done quickly and accurately.
Unfortunately, the characteristics that make websites optimal for humans make them difficult for computers to use.
The solution is an API. An API is the tool that makes a website's data digestible for a computer. Through it, a computer can view
and edit data, just like a person can by loading pages and submitting forms.
