Blog post from Postman
The concept of "API as a Product" emphasizes treating APIs with the same care as other products by understanding user needs, ensuring discoverability, and enhancing user experience (UX) and developer experience (DX). The text highlights the importance of reducing API Bounce Rate, a metric indicating the percentage of users who generate API credentials but fail to make a successful call, often due to challenges with authentication or overwhelming documentation. Effective onboarding through improved documentation and user guidance is crucial, with tools like Postman and its Collections offering executable documentation to aid developers in successfully using APIs. Postman's approach, which simplifies authentication and integrates Getting Started guides, aims to foster positive initial experiences and long-term engagement with APIs, as exemplified by companies like Meta's WhatsApp.
