Exactly Who Works with APIs? We Found Out

Postman's 2021 State of the API Report reveals significant trends in the API landscape, including the diversification of roles involved in API usage beyond traditional developers, with about half of survey respondents identifying with non-development roles such as management and business analysis. This shift reflects a broader industry move towards data-driven operations, where APIs facilitate access to information across various job functions. The report also highlights that newer generations, primarily Millennials and Gen Z, dominate the API field, often with less than five years of experience, underscoring the need for organizations to support these early-career professionals in navigating foundational industry knowledge. As APIs become increasingly crucial across different sectors, ensuring their accessibility and usability for non-engineering roles, as well as adequately supporting emerging API practitioners, are identified as key challenges for the future.
