API Growth Continues to Skyrocket

APIs have become a fundamental component of the digital economy, driving a rapid increase in their adoption and utilization across various sectors. This surge is evidenced by the Postman API Platform, which has seen an explosive growth in Postman Collections from under half a million in 2016 to over 46 million by January 2021. Three major industry shifts have fueled this growth: a transition from single-device to multi-device experiences, the architectural move from monoliths to microservices, and the shift from on-premise to cloud infrastructure, all of which rely heavily on APIs. The increasing demand for APIs is reflected in the staggering number of API requests, with Postman recording approximately 4.7 billion requests in 2019 alone. As the internet continues to expand, so too does the world of APIs, which are now integral to nearly all business sectors, suggesting ongoing growth well into the future.
