Xignite discloses their API best practices for fintech developers. Poorly designed software never stands the test of time. APIs are no different. Xignite stands out in a saturated market by catering to the people who are digging deep into tech. Developer friendly APIs and documentation, will keep everyone happy, and therefore on schedule.
Dubois points out that APIs must be adapted to the use case so that the developer gets all they need in a way that minimizes coding efforts. “This is the reason that all API supermarkets have failed,” said Dubois. “One-inch deep and one mile-wide API catalog are frustrating to developers. They will be used as a last resort, but quickly abandoned if an offering comes along that is adapted to the developer and the type of apps they are building.”
