What is an API Product? This is a concept I have been trying to define in full for a bit now, and haven't found any great write ups on. With that in mind, as always this is a learning and discovery blog, and that's the aim here. I encourage discussion on the topic, and for you to consider this a working definition, share your thoughts and opinions, and hopefully find what I have collected here somewhat useful. To those of you that have read my blogs, attended my webinars, or seen any of my presentations, you know I like to relate things to analogies. So to answer this question, let's start with a scenario... Say you are man shopping for a few dress shirts for work (feel free to swap pronouns and clothing articles as desired). You hop onto the home page of your favorite generic shopping site and start to look for what you need. What is the first thing you click on to start to narrow your search? Often you will see several departments (eg. beauty, kids, jewelry, watches)
