This IDC Taxonomy presents IDC's worldwide network API taxonomy for 2025. It highlights the evolution of network and service APIs, driven by the need for telcos to monetize 5G investments. Emerging 5G capabilities offer new opportunities for enterprise developers, supported by initiatives such as the CAMARA Alliance and the GSMA Open Gateway. This IDC Taxonomy defines key technology concepts, standards bodies, and API categories, emphasizing the importance of network exposure functions and service API bundles. It also underscores the role of various stakeholders (including 5G vendors, comms SPs, CPaaS, and hyperscale cloud providers) in fostering a robust network API ecosystem.
