Is your developer portal more than an API portal?
Interface portals are external (business) developer portals that broker a cooperative AND competitive value exchange between an organization and the communities it interacts with. Interface portals leverage API technologies, but are focused on accelerating interface journeys. Where possible they help developers to use technology assets that provide shortcuts around custom API integration (e.g. SDK, app, widget, QR-code).
