“We can use things like parsing. Look, you have a lot of email data going through your system. Of course, we give you the emails, but we can also give you what’s in the emails. If someone buys something, we can give you the data that’s in the receipt, tell you what they ordered, and give you images of the things they ordered. We can give you all of that in a structured way,” Nassimi explains.

Modern APIs also need to be designed with security in mind, especially given that API hacks are “extremely common,” Nassimi notes.

“Security is determined by several factors,” he says. “Obviously, there’s the code you write, but there’s also the processes you put in place, and there’s the operations — essentially, how well you follow those processes. The culture within will determine how well you do all three of those things.”

Security is easy to ignore, he says, until a developer sees the consequences of not doing so. “Then it becomes a very high priority for the rest of their life,” Nassimi says.
