Postman, the world’s leading API platform, announced the launch of its Ecosystem Partner Program. This program will allow companies and independent software vendors (ISVs) to build joint solutions with the Postman API Platform to improve the developer experience and gain visibility across Postman’s user base of over 20 million API professionals.
APIs are the building blocks of all modern software with Postman users making approximately one billion API requests last year. Furthermore, according to Postman’s recently-released 2022 State of the API Report, 51% of respondents said that more than half of their organizations’ development effort is spent on APIs. With more time spent on APIs and organizations continuing to embrace the API-first model of software, Postman simplifies each step of the API lifecycle and streamlines collaboration so developers can create better APIs faster.
“As companies begin to understand the value of being API-first, we are seeing more organizations prioritize building, using, and innovating with APIs,” said Abhinav Asthana, co-founder and CEO of Postman. “This has contributed to a rapidly evolving API platform landscape. The new Ecosystem Partner Program will connect companies with the tools and resources they need to meet their API-first potential and succeed in the modern development landscape.”
