Core Platform Team/Initiatives/API Platform

Vision
For API producers and consumers, internal and external to Wikimedia, who need to create, manage, discover, and use APIs, the API Platform is a set of tools, processes, and best practices that empowers APIs as a method for creating and sharing free knowledge.

Different from existing APIs, our product breaks down barriers to entry for consumption and contribution to Wikimedia APIs
