Short walkthrough of our 𝗔𝗜‑𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗱 and diagnostics for #APIs. Most APIs expect devs to fill in gaps in the #OpenAPI description. Expecting AI agents to do that safely is an operational risk. We score six dimensions to show where APIs break for AI consumers. Try at: jentic.com/scorecard

"As a business, to continue to stay ahead, now is the time to consider not just human visitors, or traditional wisdom for SEO-optimization, but start to treat agents as first-class citizens." blog.cloudflare.com/markdown-for...

We’ve been preparing for AI as an Oracle—one brain that answers our questions. But what if intelligence emerges from interaction? What if the Singularity isn’t so singular?

In November 2016, I launched the first-ever API conversational interface. At that time, I had to use NLP, NLG, and an ML layer built in-house, offering HITL reinforcement learning. It was a one-of-a-kind. Here's an early demo video from November 2016: www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7sv...

The voluntary nature of Internet standards means that the biggest power move may be to avoid playing the game. Let's take a look. https://www.mnot.net/blog/2026/02/13/no

"Everyone agrees that having a high-quality API is critical. However, most people who run APIs don't know how to measure quality. To them, quality is something subjective. To me, quality is the glue between all the stakeholders of an API." apichangelog.substack.com/p/what-is-ap...

"A non-human identity (NHI) is a machine identity that software uses to authenticate and gain access to various systems. These identities encompass a range of elements, such as service accounts, APIs, applications, containers, bots, and cloud workloads." www.paloaltonetworks.com/cyberpedia/w...

Intelligence isn’t magic, but rather the ability to understand and shape the future in a complex environment. AI can do both. In a recent interview with @elpais.com, I explain why generalization is more important than memorization when defining intelligence.

"Consumer-focused API Design. That’s the name I like to give to the exercise of engaging with potential users to understand what they need. Without this engagement, I feel that what I’m building isn’t offering what consumers really need." apichangelog.substack.com/p/consumer-f...

Great round‑up from 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘼𝙋𝙄 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙤𝙜. The trend of #APIs as the enabling layer for #AI is clear, showing up in real‑time voice, messaging integrations, and driving standardization. @jentic.bsky.social is proud to sponsor and partner with @brunopedro.com. apichangelog.substack.com/p/2026-06

"(...) you are going to end up with a bad manager at some point, and it’s not your job to change them — you can’t. In fact, the more senior the leader, the less you’ll be able to influence them." randsinrepose.com/archives/thr...

"Apitally now supports tracing with OpenTelemetry, eliminating guesswork when troubleshooting slow API requests, while keeping things simple." apitally.io/blog/tracing...

"In just a few days, we saw APIs help AI speak in real time, quietly embed itself inside everyday messaging apps, unify industries that have resisted standardization for decades, and leak secrets at a scale that spilled far beyond a single company." apichangelog.substack.com/p/2026-06

"This document defines the Agent Authorization Grant, an OAuth 2.1 extension allowing a class of Internet applications - called AI Agents - to obtain access tokens in order to invoke web-based APIs on behalf of their users." datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ro...

"Agent Auth (AAuth) is an exploratory specification examining what new capabilities and features may be useful to address use cases that are not well-served by existing protocols like OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and SAML." github.com/dickhardt/ag...

Some people insist that MCP will make APIs obsolete. "I use MCP with OpenAPI all the time," shared Emmanuel Paraskakis, the founder of the API consultancy and training firm Level 250. We had a great chat around MCPs and APIs in general last December. apichangelog.substack.com/p/mcp-is-jus...

Can robots use APIs? Did you know that ROS is one of the most used robotics standards, with organizations like BMW, Boeing, Caterpillar, John Deere, using it? I didn't, until I learned that AsyncAPI now supports ROS! Find this and other insights here: apichangelog.substack.com/p/2026-05

"'No AI without APIs' doesn’t make sense. At least in a world where agents don’t need to communicate with the outside. You can have all the APIs you want. If your AI system can’t reach them, they’re useless." apichangelog.substack.com/p/the-mcp-re...

"Imagine you’re a developer working with multiple AI agents based on large language models (LLMs). On Monday morning, your client asks you to connect an AI coding assistant to access GitHub issues, Jira tickets, and internal documentation via MCP-powered tools." nordicapis.com/7-benefits-o...

"MCP is a standard way to expose and consume capabilities. Having a standard interface matters a lot. It means that consumers know what to expect, and there’s a common shared vocabulary of what is possible." apichangelog.substack.com/p/using-mcp-...

"Try to put yourself in the mindset of someone who has never coded before. This is going to be difficult if you’re technical or even tech-adjacent – you’ve internalized so many things that the average person has never encountered." www.a16z.news/p/most-peopl...

Spent the last few days at a retreat on the future of software development, convened by @thoughtworks.com and @martinfowler.com. Excellent conversations and plenty of food for thought www.thoughtworks.com/en-us/about-...

"to expose themselves to as many things as possible" notes.brunopedro.com/2026/02/03/2...

"Natural language is an excellent interface for humans. It is a poor interface for systems. When APIs accept raw text directly and execute logic based on it, several problems emerge." techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/azurede...

"Looking back at the end of January 2026, it feels like one of those moments where several threads in the API economy quietly tied themselves together." The API Changelog weekly summaries issue is back! Thanks to @jentic.bsky.social for making it possible! apichangelog.substack.com/p/2026-05

"Snowflake and OpenAI teams will work closely together to bring new features that leverage OpenAI Apps SDK, AgentKit, and APIs that support shared enterprise workflows." openai.com/index/snowfl...

"Most API mock servers focus on generating predictable and repeatable responses. It doesn’t matter how many times you attempt to create or modify data. The changes you think you’re making aren’t retained over time." apichangelog.substack.com/p/api-protot...

"You know that there is this version. And that that’s the version for now." notes.brunopedro.com/2026/02/02/2...

What can go wrong? "Moltbook is built on a simple open source database software that wasn’t configured correctly and left the API keys of every agent registered on the site exposed in a public database." www.404media.co/exposed-molt...

Glad and excited to talk about "Cognition Spaces: : from individual to collective brains" at the @maxplanck.de Max Planck Institute and discuss about new projects on neuroscience of basal cognition (and beyond) with my dear colleague Aneta Koseska @koseskalab.bsky.social mpinb.mpg.de/en/events/ev...

What if API consumers could be able to define the capabilities that matter to them? Instead of having to use the API capabilities defined by producers, they'd be able to adapt the APIs to their needs. How would that reality look like?

Moltworker is a middleware Worker and adapted scripts that allows running Moltbot (formerly Clawdbot) on Cloudflare's Sandbox SDK and our Developer Platform APIs. So you can self-host an AI personal assistant — without any new hardware.

Integrating with multiple APIs feels like maintenance hell. "Every time one of the APIs you integrate with changes, you need to change something on your side. If your integrations are baked into your code, you have a recipe for long-term frustration." apichangelog.substack.com/p/workflows-...

Does your API work as expected? This is one of the questions I ask in my API Hierarchy of Needs. "Your API endpoints should behave exactly as announced on the documentation. In situations where unexpected things happen, you should offer easy to consume error codes." apiux.com/2013/05/29/a...

Unforced errors. What a great concept! - an endpoint that behaves differently than described - a parameter marked optional that's actually required - undocumented error responses - examples that don't match reality - concepts explained, but not when or why to use them redocly.com/blog/beat-th...

This is one of the reasons why API stability is so important. The probability of breaking changes compounds across all the APIs you integrate with. Every new integration is a new point of volatility. Eventually, your maintenance costs will go through the roof.

"Unexpected inputs, edge cases, and other random failures are the things that can cause any integration to fail. Can AI agentic workflows learn, adapt, and optimize over time, fixing all the integration problems?" apichangelog.substack.com/p/are-ai-age...
