A dynamic way to put APIs on display
Because your organization and its individual lines of business have spent a lot of time getting your APIs just right, you want to get the most out of them. Successful socialization calls for easy-to-use access by internal and external application developers. That’s why IBM API Connect® comes with a built-in application developer interface called developer portal. Its award-winning user design features robust capabilities that make it easy for your internal lines of business to innovate and for you to attract and engage new partnerships.

Build brand equity
Your company-branded portal and customizable email capabilities help you increase brand awareness and developer engagement.
Improve decision-making
Portal analytics reveal insight about individual APIs so developers can make smart choices and optimize their applications.
Cultivate a community
Integrated community-building features like forums, blogs and ratings help you keep API developers coming back.

Socializing APIs in the airline industry
To increase bookings, airlines are uniquely interested in pushing flight information out to travel-related third parties, such as Kayak, Travelocity and Expedia, so it becomes widely available to travelers. Because socialization like this is key, airlines can benefit from dynamic, engaging solutions like API Connect. With a company-branded developer portal, an airline can allow travel application developers to easily grab flight data and share it worldwide using new applications.
