How it Works

API World 2023 is the world’s largest API & microservices conference, and the 2023 API Awards are the definitive awards for the API & microservices industry.

The 2023 API Awards are given out for 20 categories, and the Advisory Board for API World, made up of industry veterans, will select category winners after the public nomination process concludes.

The API Awards celebrate innovation, adoption and reception in the API & microservices industry and by the developer community.

The 2023 API Awards nominations are accepted now through Friday, August 25, 2023, and winners will be announced on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. Winners will be presented with awards during the 2023 API Awards Ceremony. Recipients receive (2) VIP Passes to API World 2023, a commemorative award, and media promotion and industry recognition.

Nominations are public and any technology, product or service that is or interacts with an application programming interface (API) or microservice is eligible for nomination. Nominees for the Innovator Award must be a person or team responsible for a significant innovation in the industry.
