Full Definition

The API economy refers to the ecosystem of businesses that expose their capabilities as APIs for other companies to build on. Stripe is payment infrastructure-as-an-API. Twilio is SMS-as-an-API. OpenAI is AI-as-an-API. Instead of building everything yourself, you subscribe to APIs and compose them. 404Fault itself is an API consumer (Firebase, Claude, Vercel).

اقتصاد API يشير إلى النظام البيئي للشركات التي تُعرض قدراتها كواجهات برمجية لشركات أخرى للبناء عليها.
