Hi Everyone,

It's time for Wikimedia Tech Talks 2020 Episode 4! This talk will take place on 5 June 2020 at 5 PM UTC.

Title: API portal and gateway

Speaker: Evan Prodromou, Product Manager for APIs in the Platform Team

Summary: How does Wikimedia become "the essential infrastructure in the ecosystem of free knowledge"? One way is by making a platform that helps software developers become successful. In this talk, Evan Prodromou, Product Manager for APIs in the Platform Team, discusses the ongoing work to provide a Wikimedia developer platform. With this platform, app creators can include Wikimedia data and content into their software in new and emergent ways. From modernizing our API paradigm, through unified user authorization, documentation, and developer onboarding, the Platform team is working to make a developer experience that rivals those from other major Internet players.
