About this title

Synopsis

Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Computer Science - Commercial Information Technology, grade: 1,0, University of Göttingen (Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät), course: Selected Issues in Digitalization, language: English, abstract: This paper is about Application Programming Interface and methodology and results, contribution and implications and Further research. The rise of digital platforms in recent years induced a substantial emergence of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) at business organizations. By connecting two parties with mutual interests, APIs facilitate digital collaboration and generate network effects beneficial to both. This literature review examines a research conducted on the performance effects of APIs. It measures the potential impact of distinct design choices and value creation strategies on the commercial outcome and pervasion of an API. The results suggest that API design must be deliberately coordinated with the strategy of value creation in order to achieve desirable business objectives. The findings are demonstrated with a case study on open banking as a practical example. Moreover, the paper is contextualized with two related journal articles, validating and extending the insights found.
