APIs can perform in ways that other technology cannot, and for many situations, they are the best fit for the job, but they are not infallible. Understanding that your specific API's standards depend on the developer who wrote the code is essential.

Looking at pitfalls, we use our i12 Gateway API as the yardstick against which we measure other APIs. i12 is a fully custom and customizable solution with enhanced levels of data security and integrity.

These are 5 API pitfalls and what you can do to avoid them.

  1. APIs: Passive vs Managed
  2. APIs: Is there a standard
  3. API: Issue Resolution
  4. API: What apps are supported
  5. API: Build or Buy
