Key Takeaways: The 5 APIs of the Apocalypse
- API is an abbreviation for an application programming interface.
- An application programming interface is a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. In other words, an API is the messenger that delivers your request to the provider that you’re requesting it from and then delivers the response back to you.
- APIs are widely used and have made connecting systems much easier, which has enabled the explosive growth of ecommerce.
- The 5 APIs of the apocalypse are Amazon, Walmart, JD.com, Alibaba, and Shopify.
- JD.com is China’s largest online retailer and its biggest overall retailer, as well as the country’s biggest Internet company by revenue.
- In the podcast interview, Jeremy refers to these industry giants as APIs rather than marketplaces or ecommerce companies because he believes much of their power comes from their ability to connect with consumers everywhere; phones, tablets, computers, cars, Alexa, etc..
- Amazon, Walmart, JD.com, and Alibaba are enabling consumers to buy from anywhere and those transactions are built using APIs.
- Even though Shopify was included on the list, they are different from the other companies because they actually enable small and mid-size companies to become more competitive.
