#APis #Documentation #BusinessModels #DeveloperPortals: "In the API economy, businesses can expose their data and services through APIs, allowing third-party developers to build new applications and services on top of them. This creates new business opportunities and drives innovation, as developers can use APIs to access data and functionality that was previously unavailable.

For example, a company that has built a database of customer information could expose this data through an API, allowing other companies to build new applications that use this data to provide value to their customers. In this way, the API economy allows businesses to leverage their existing assets and create new revenue streams.

Over time, at Blobr, we have developed a framework to better evaluate the kind of APIs we are dealing with. The framework includes data, service, and processing. Here is an overview of the top 100 companies included in our study."
