A couple of weeks ago I wrote about how Pipedrive put a price on every tool call : an x-token-cost on all 371 operations, in Pipedrive’s own rate-limit currency, sitting right next to the description an agent uses to decide what to call.…
What’s new You can now write Postman Mock Servers in JavaScript. They remember things between requests. They run on your laptop, in CI, or in the cloud. Every step is a terminal command. So your coding agent can do all of it: create the…
I think the wires are crossed in how we are using agents right now. The thing agents are actually good at, and the thing they actually need, is structured, machine-readable content written for other machines. Contracts, schemas, workflows…
When I sat down with Zdenek Nemec last month, he made a point I have not been able to shake. Before 2020, direct monetization was only ever a small slice of why companies built APIs. Maybe ten percent. The rest of the reasons were…
My first rule for any software I use to run API Evangelist is that it must have an API. Not just because I like APIs, but so that my business can get its data in and out. An API reduces my switching costs and leaves me with more control…
I built four small sites this fall so I would have something real to point agents at. Yawplet takes short messages. Yarnhen takes stories. Hagglebee takes classified ads. Eventwren takes events. Each one is an API first and a website…
Over the last year and a half I have been working side by side with Postman’s CTO, Ankit Sobti, on the agent platform we use to deploy all of our internal agents as we transform the company to be AI-native. This is a follow-up to his post…
Some of the most widely implemented API contracts in the world were never ratified by anybody. The S3 interface, the OpenAI API, CKAN’s Action API and Ethereum’s JSON-RPC became standards by being copied, and “compatible” stayed a…
Last week I looked at how few of the companies we track name OpenAPI in their job postings . This week it is the protocol everyone in the API space has been arguing about for the last year: the Model Context Protocol. Same pull, same…
We asked around and got five different answers for how many AI agents Postman was running. The real number was 866. Here is what we did about it. Key Takeaways (TL;DR) AI agent sprawl is the new shadow IT : easy creation outruns…
Last week I wrote about Overlay 1.2 and the fourteen jobs we already use Overlays for , and then about why an Overlay is a layer and not a diff . Both posts leaned on a number, that the APIs.io catalog holds tens of thousands of Overlay…
I was reading through Open Resource Discovery this morning — SAP’s protocol, now under the Linux Foundation Europe’s NeoNephos, for a system to describe the APIs and events it exposes — and noticed it starts the way so much does lately: at…
Vercel Labs has a new coding agent called fx . It is a small native binary, around 6MB, written in Zig, Apache-2.0 licensed, and on GitHub at version 0.0.13 with a banner telling you it is experimental and will change often. There is no…
Bill Doerrfeld opened the Nordic APIs Summit in Stockholm this morning with How AI Agents Change API Interaction Patterns , and about three minutes in he gave the room his definition of an AI agent: “It is a large-language-model-driven…
Five updates landed across the Postman platform in the first two weeks of September, and together they touch almost every stage of building and running APIs and agents: test coverage, AI gateway infrastructure, agent access control…
Two things happened last week that I keep putting side by side. On October 6, the Model Context Protocol finalized MCP Server Cards , and in doing so it declined to define its own discovery location. A domain advertises its MCP servers…
I want to draw a line in the sand with this one, while acknowledging we are just getting started. For the last year the Kin Score has measured two things about an API provider: what they publish, and how ready that is for agents. Both are…
The Nordic APIs Platform Summit opens in Stockholm tomorrow, Tuesday and Wednesday, 13 and 14 October, and I close it on Wednesday at 15:45 with a talk called The Agent Hype is at Odds with Your API Foundation . Before any event I read the…
There is a new Rules section on APIs.io , and it exists to answer one question I have been asked for years and could never answer with data: who actually publishes the rules their APIs are designed to? Not who has a style guide in a wiki…
A post came across my LinkedIn feed this week asking whether decision models will last as a category, and whether one schema is winning. TypeSafe’s Jev and its System One API. OpenAI’s Decisions API. AWS, Microsoft, Cloudflare, Perplexity…
