Nordic APIs ranked #1 API blog on the web

I'm excited to share that Nordic APIs was recently ranked the #1 top application programming interface (API) blog on the web by FeedSpot!

Nordic APIs is the blog I edit that tracks all aspects of APIs. Don't let the name fool you — the presence extends well beyond the Nordics. The site and event series represent an international community made up of thousands of API enthusiasts, implementors, and solution providers.

Since I took the helm of the presence as a contract editor in 2015, we've been consistently churning out thought pieces on the API economy, covering API standards, best practices, tooling roundups, security tips, and more. The writers are a lean team of freelancers and industry contributors.

Nordic APIs holds a yearly Platform Summit in Stockholm, Sweden. Now in its 9th year, the conference continues to be a beacon for in-person API knowledge sharing, generating hundreds of helpful sessions on YouTube as well.

After ten years doing this, I feel like I still know so little. This is a fascinating space and a welcoming industry that continues to evolve and mature under the radar of each new technology whirlwind.

Over the last decade, we've seen countless trends come and go in tech — internet of things, smart cars, metaverse, blockchain, DevOps, cloud-native, generative AI, just to name a few. But the one thing that has remained consistent is the API. It's at the core of so much of what we take for granted.

Impressively, the RESTful HTTP API format itself has largely gone unchanged in this entire decade — probably due to its link with standard web protocols. Something this universal and entrenched will likely stick around tomorrow, too.

Just wanted to briefly share my gratitude to those who've supported the journey thus far. Huge thank you to the founder Travis Spencer for the guidance, Curity for the continued support, and to all the writers, contributors, speakers, sponsors, and organizers that make the Nordic APIs community an awesome thing to be a part of!

It's been an honor to support this presence thus far, and I look forward to the future with it!
