The API industry, stripped of the BS
The only newsletter that pairs a curated feed of every major API move with the unfiltered opinions and technical analysis you won't find in a PR blog.
“The most important API newsletter out there. Bruno has the big picture that more companies need.”
—Kin Lane, The API Evangelist
What’s inside
Here’s what you get every week when you subscribe:
The Weekly Summary: A high-signal digest of over 400 sources. We filter the noise to give you the API technical, product, and breaking news that actually impact your stack.
Deep Technical Analysis: Unfiltered takes on emerging standards and independent analysis on deep technical topics that you want to learn. “Should you expose your entire API to LLMs via MCP, or keep them on a leash with specific workflows?” This is just one of the topics we want to explore with you.
Interviews: Direct conversations with the people building the future. We talk to founders and engineers to see how the “real world” handles API-as-a-Product. Enjoy learning directly from people like Emmanuel Paraskakis, Irina Kamalova, and Daniel Kocot.

Our readers come from the world’s most innovative engineering teams and investment firms. From Big Tech to emerging API startups, we provide the “outside the bubble” perspective that leaders rely on to stay ahead. We’re trusted by API leaders at Amazon, Cisco, Google, and Microsoft, as well as by the engineering teams behind major investment and financial institutions such as A16Z, La Banque Postale, Rabobank, and SEB.
Where We Come From
In 2021, Bruno Pedro started the API Changelog newsletter. Initially, the idea was to share any news from the API industry. However, it soon became a way to learn what was going on outside of the “API bubble.” Don’t get me wrong here. What I call the API bubble has value but is limited in the scope of opinions and focuses mostly on what API vendors have to offer.
By the end of 2023, Vania Coelho joined the project and became the curator of the News section. Vania’s job is to curate hundreds of announcements and other articles every week. We want you to see APIs outside of the bubble I mentioned before. We want to share how the real world builds, sells, and uses APIs.
That’s why in the last quarter of 2023, we published 11 newsletter editions with a curated list of announcements, news, and articles ranging from AI to security. With a total of 235 articles hand-curated from over 400 items, we started noticing trends.
In the first quarter of 2024, and after publishing 13 newsletter editions, we can say a lot is happening in the API industry. We covered things like the acquisition of Reflect by SmartBear, Bitly’s barcode API, and over $340M in funding for API products.
We curate all this information and add our own opinionated voice to it. By subscribing, you’re getting an independently reviewed list of resources from the API industry. We tend to publish twice a week, and we won’t flood your inbox with useless information.
