Mashery

Launched in 2006, Mashery is designed to make it cheaper and easier for companies to build and control channels for web services than it would be to do everything in-house.

Thousands of software-driven companies are releasing APIs over the next two years in order to become Software as a Service (SaaS) providers, either as a primary or secondary line of business. Although every API is different, the infrastructure to manage them includes the same set of challenges across virtually all providers. This is where Mashery comes in. Adopting their developer management and support services allows API vendors to focus on their core business.

Mashery offers all the ingredients needed to get APIs widely distributed and successfully used an API marketplace, tracking, metrics, usage/access management, commerce, security and performance tools.

Masherys customers include Shopping.com, Thumbplay, Freewebs, Compete.com, France Telecom, Trulia and Sylantro.
