APIToS Phase 2: Summary of the research + online workshop “New models for API Terms of Service”

In Phase 1 of the API Terms of Service (APIToS) research project, we interviewed API practitioners and identified key areas that can make APIToS easier to read and more understandable for healthier and more open digital infrastructures.

Phase 2 of the study consisted of running a quantitative survey. Analysis of the survey responses, alongside findings from Phase 1 interviews, helped guide the development of a prototype qualitative framework for describing API Terms of Service in a way that is understandable and readable by users, easy to produce by providers, and favors open ecosystems for policymakers.

To anchor our preliminary results and test our hypotheses with the API practitioner community, we organized  an online workshop/focus group of 20+ people working with or studying APIs. Attendees had different backgrounds (from research, industry, legal design, legal studies, and policy development) and explored, assessed, discussed, and validated the prototypes and resources developed by the research team.
