The Value of Internal APIs

Internal APIs are designed primarily to streamline software development and simplify systems and operational processes. These currently represent the vast majority of use cases.

Internal APIs are often overlooked since they are aimed at in-house developers. These types of APIs generally work with proprietary data specific to a company and its departments. Although this data must be protected, it must also be accessible to those who work with it. Internal APIs allow for exactly this kind of secure access, creating more efficient development cycles for their products.

Similarly, a private API allows for some parts of a company’s data and applications to be accessed by developers working within that same company. These APIs may be used to create publically accessible applications, but the API itself is usable only by the company’s own developers.

Private APIs allow developers to work efficiently by providing a centralized pool of internal software resources. Developers can use these resources to build multiple, varied applications and products which are later accessed by the public. This streamlines development and reduces resource load, allowing the company to provide more services and products to customers.

APIs can be as simple as 1 endpoint for use by 100s of users or as complex as the AWS APIs with 1000s of endpoints and 100s of thousands of users. Building them can mean spending a couple of hours using a low-code platform or months of work using a multitude of tools. Hosting them can be as simple as using one platform that does everything we need or as complex as setting up and managing ingress control, security, caching, failover, metrics, scaling.
