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.
