The API Awards celebrate innovation, adoption, and reception in the API and microservices industry.

“SmartBear is helping empower developers and engineers to build upon the backbone of the multi-trillion-dollar market for API-driven products and services,” said Jonathan Pasky, Executive Producer & Co-Founder of DevNetwork, producer of API World & the 2020 API Awards. “Today’s cloud-based SaaS software and hardware increasingly are powered by an open ecosystem of API-centric architecture. This win by SmartBear at the 2020 API Awards is evidence of their leading role in the growth of the API Economy.”

Hundreds of nominations were received for the 2020 API Awards across 20 categories. The Advisory Board for API World, made up of industry veterans, selected the winners based on 1) attracting notable attention and awareness in the API industry, 2) general regard and use by the developer and engineering community, and 3) being a technical leader in its sector for innovation.
