Open API Community

In an open API model, third-party developers are encouraged to create novel applications by using TIBCO enterprise APIs. It is difficult to predict ahead of time which developers will succeed and what applications will be built, so it is important to make it easy for all developers to learn about and use APIs.

Supporting hundreds and thousands of developers requires different approaches for API governance, security, performance, and partner and contract management.

In this scenario TIBCO API Exchange supports the following features:

• No cost evaluation with self-service registration, evaluation and support
• Monetization: the ability to track and meter API usage
• A scalable platform on-premise and cloud
• The ability to package SLAs as standardized product offerings
• Use of OAuth for delegated access
• Analysis of consumer and developer behavior
• Opening up enterprise services as products

Companies can inspire a developer community to create the next great application while gaining competitive advantage through innovation. An open API model fosters collaborative environments that drive successful open API initiatives.
