Abstract
We define API Management as an activity that enables organizations to design, publish and deploy their APIs for (external) developers to consume. API Management capabilities such as controlling API lifecycles, access and authentication to APIs, monitoring, throttling and analyzing API usage, as well as providing security and documentation. These capabilities are often implemented through an integrated platform. This data set describes the API Management Focus Area Maturity Model (API-m-FAMM). In a structured manner, this model aims to support organizations that expose their API(s) to third-party developers in their API management activities. Through a thorough Systematic Literature Review (SLR), 114 practices and 39 capabilities were collected. Subsequently, these practices and capabilities were categorized into 6 focus areas. Next, the practices and capabilities were analyzed and…
