OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES OF LEVERAGING APIs FOR CDN-BASED MEDIA SYSTEMS
In today's digital era, Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) are crucial for efficient content delivery. Leveraging Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) in CDN-based media systems offers many opportunities, such as enhanced content delivery and improved user experiences. This research aims to identify the opportunities and challenges of leveraging APIs for CDN-based media systems. A qualitative approach is used by reviewing relevant literature and industry case studies. The results show that APIs can increase productivity and monetize digital assets but also face challenges such as the complexity of the CDN ecosystem and API management. In conclusion, while there are many opportunities in leveraging APIs for CDNs, media organizations need to address technical and operational challenges to maximize their benefits.
