As the technological landscape increasingly integrates AI, Cindric anticipates a profound impact on the evolution of APIs, emphasizing the growing importance of API security, authentication, and the challenges posed by zombie endpoints.

APIs have been growing at a CAGR of 25% for the past few years, but that growth doubled in 2023, all thanks to AI. We predict that AI-based APIs will continue to drive API growth in 2024 as they go hand in hand.

As organizations look to transform their digital business and enter the era of the API economy, we expect that we will be building and using more and more APIs.

The toughest thing about API security is that, in most cases, organizations don't know that hackers exploit their APIs because they don't have access to API data in real-time.

Can you comment on the future challenges and opportunities in API integration and management as technology evolves?

Many organizations still need to figure out their API strategy and how to build a successful business around APIs.
