Stack Exchange

Developers do not always rely on the forum or support of a single API. They have long established their own communities for support across many public APIs, programming languages and platforms. The leading open forum for this developer activity is Stack Exchange.

Stack Exchange provides a community for developers of all types to share knowledge and answer questions encountered during development of any type. API owners need to actively monitor and participate in conversations on Stack Exchange and not expect developers to always engage on their own local API forum.

Some API ecosystems like Foursquare and Facebook have even migrated their entire forum to a dedicated Stack Exchange forum, in recognition of the value developers put into the Stack Exchange.
