APIs were launched into the digital world in the 1990s and revolutionized the process of digital transformation. Integration became normalized and even commonplace and continued to evolve, bringing much-needed speed and agility.

At the present, the API economy continues to grow and strengthen. As digital transformation continues its journey, API-enabled digital channels like smart home devices have become typical. Moreover, the importance of APIs in people’s everyday lives is only increasing. While this may seem like a great thing in terms of modernity and progress, some issues have to be considered as integration may have its darker sides too.
