There are commercial entitites/vendors related references in this article that pose a question to the merits of it being a definitive impartial article at all. API management as a discipline goes back decades as it has been practiced. The notion of an API (Application Programming Interface) and management (the ability to manage who, what, when, how, why, and finally how often) are separate disciplines in their own right, and have their own articles. API management in the light of REST based applications or service invocations etcetera are a more narrowly focused notion of APIs. It discredits the various other methods of APIs and management that are available at large today - space based computing, asynchronous queuing, fire and forget broadcasting, in-memory /shared-memory calls etc.. lex lapax (talk) 09:45, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
