Visa
Introduction
The Visa Developer Platform is the foundation on which the future of Visa is being built. Started in 2016 with a handful of products and clients, VDP has exploded in growth, currently closing on 3.5 billion API calls each month. VDP is the face of Visa’s API-first strategy and is comprised of a developer portal, API gateway and service components used to enhance product and client experiences.
Through VDP, clients can learn about APIs, explore use cases, build prototypes and launch products. Developers can access a plethora of content to help them build, including technical documentation, configuration and go live workflow engines, implementation guides, test data, and sample code. In addition, VDP’s community forum enables developers to exchange ideas and discuss solutions.
With 9 of the top 10 US issuers using VDP to build and launch products, clients look to Visa as a leader in the API economy. We are a one-stop shop, empowering clients to utilize Visa’s growing portfolio of product offerings and best-in-class API management infrastructure.
