O artigo discute questões conceituais e metodológicas a serem enfrentadas por pesquisas empíricas baseadas em dados obtidos através de Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) de plataformas online. Em diálogo com os Estudos de Plataforma, métodos digitais e outras abordagens ancoradas nos estudos de ciência e tecnologia (STS), o artigo volta-se para a relação entre as políticas das APIs e dimensões como affordances, governança, datificação e mediações algorítmicas em mídias sociais como Twitter e Facebook. Aspectos materiais, políticos, normativos e econômicos são discutidos por meio de exemplos que vão da implementação das primeiras APIs, nos anos 2000, aos desafios recentes, em especial após o escândalo Cambridge Analytica.
