Here's an uncomfortable question: Where does API integration actually start?
If you answered "from the developer portal," you're answering yesterday's question. Your beautifully designed portal lives in a browser tab that developers visit once, maybe twice.

The gap between where you deliver API context and where developers actually need it has never been wider.
