Alcatel-Lucent has acquired ProgrammableWeb, the technology industry’s universal source for Web APIs (application programming interfaces) used by application developers to build web, mobile, and other connected applications that serve consumers and the workplace. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.  Web APIs enable developers to create new applications leveraging various kinds of content and functionality. Alcatel-Lucent said its acquisition of ProgrammableWeb will help congregate an ecosystem of service providers, enterprises, and developers to drive the creation of unique applications today and in the new world of broadband mobile through LTE. As a part of Alcatel-Lucent, ProgrammableWeb will continue to operate as a separate entity, maintaining its repository of over 2,000 Web APIs that are regularly accessed by a huge community of developers. It will also continue its role as a most comprehensive content source for Web services development. Alcatel-Lucent will provide support and resources to ProgrammableWeb to promote the continued and robust growth of the API and developer ecosystem and facilitate service providers’ participation within that ecosystem.
