MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Picsart, the world’s leading digital creation platform and a top 20 most downloaded app worldwide, today announced its API program Picsart for Developers has won a 2022 API Award in the “Best API Debut” category. To celebrate this award, the company is launching the Picsart Developer Fund, $1 million in API credits, to empower innovators and further accelerate industry adoption of its AI-powered creative APIs.
The 2022 API Awards celebrate the incredible technical innovation, rapid adoption and reception within the API & microservices industries and widespread use by a global developer community. This year’s awards received hundreds of nominations, and the Advisory Board to the API Awards selected Picsart for Developers based on three criteria: (1) attracting notable attention and awareness in the API industry; (2) general regard and use by the developer and engineering community; and (3) being a technical leader in its sector for innovation. The awards will be presented at the 2022 API Awards Ceremony during API World, the world’s largest API & microservices conference and expo.
“Picsart for Developers is helping engineers and API professionals build the future of APIs and the API economy,” said Jonathan Pasky, Executive Producer & Co-Founder of DevNetwork, producer of API World & the 2022 API Awards. “Today’s cloud-based software and hardware are increasingly powered by API-centric architecture and platforms. Picsart for Developers’ win here at the 2022 API Awards is evidence of their leading role in the growth of the global API ecosystem.”
Picsart launched Picsart for Developers earlier this year to give businesses access to the leading editing tools that built the company into one of the largest creative platforms and communities in the world. To further encourage creative expansion via APIs, Picsart is offering up to 1,000 developers $1,000 in API credits to integrate Picsart’s creative tools into their own platforms.
"As we opened up our creative tech stack to companies and enterprises, we want to co-create with developers,” said Aram Mkhitaryan, VP of APIs, Product & Tech at Picsart. "Our APIs cover a range of image editing capabilities, from remove background to ultra upscale, enhance and more. We're excited to see the new creative solutions that come from the fund, and how others use our APIs to power engaging and interactive experiences."
