Abstract(in English) API economy is attracting attention as a way to create new value by converting corporate services such as information processing and data provision into APIs and using these APIs to connect services. In order to maximize the values of API economy, it is important to capture the behavior of the market, where the number of market participants changes over time, and to clarify the strategy that platforms should take. In this paper, we present a time-evolving market model of a platform in which API providers participate in addition to consumers and service providers. The simulation results show that the use of APIs reduces the cost of service development and expands the market by allowing many service providers and consumers to participate in the market.
