You're in business for the revenue. API monetization can open new streams.
To derive value from API products, start with an API strategy that aligns IT and business goals through an API marketplace. Then monetize your APIs to create potential new revenue streams.

What is API Monetization?
API monetization happens when you create and curate API products in a way that increases their consumption and boosts ROI, either directly by charging for their use, or indirectly through efficiencies or faster time to market.
Direct vs. indirect API monetization
With direct monetization, you offer APIs in a chargeback model based on usage, transactional pricing for a set period, or pay-as-you-go. API monetization that generates peripheral gains that enhance overall ROI, is indirect.
