### Hands-on masterclass with Mike Amundsen at apidays Paris

This event is in English
To attend, you must buy a ticket on this page. Seats are limited.

## Description

As AI agents, LLMs, and autonomous orchestration engines start consuming APIs directly, traditional API design patterns simply aren’t enough.
Machines need discoverability, consistency, context, and affordances — not just endpoints.
This masterclass shows you the five major shifts required to evolve your APIs from human-friendly to machine-ready.
If you’re building APIs that will support automation, agents, or AI-driven workflows, this session is for you.

### Mike Amundsen :

Internationally recognized author, speaker, and consultant.
Expert in API ecosystems, network architecture, and the future of human–machine collaboration.
Author of Design and Build Great APIs and RESTful Web API Patterns & Practices Cookbook.
