I'm slowly working through all my research areas, updating the news items I've curated, adding and removing companies, continuing to identify some of the common building blocks, and the tools that are being put to work in the space--with the latest one in the area of higher education, with my university APIs research.
With my latest look at APIs in universities, I increased the number of institutions I'm watching from 17 to 48, more than doubling the number of API efforts in higher education from 2014 to 2015. Not all the APIs I found are fully listed, but if I found a valid public API effort under a school domain, I have added the school, and will work to profile more in the future, as I have time.
Here are the 48 institutions I'm tracking on as of August 2015:

I could spend hours looking through each university's search, finding new APIs from student and class projects, and from research going on across campus. LIke all of my research it is a work in preogress, and I depend on my audience to help me discover what is out there.
If you know of a school who is doing interesting stuff with APIs please let me know, or if you work at one of the schools listed above, feel free to reach out anytime. I'm always looking to hear more stories out of universities about API design, deployment, maangement, evangelism or integration.
I will work harder to update my university research more frequently, and if you want to visit more of my research in detail, you can download as HTML or PDF for enjoyment later(helps put me to sleep). Once I get this round of papers updated, I'm going to provide ePub as well.
Thanks for tuning in!
