What is an API?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of protocols, tools, and definitions used to enable different applications or computer systems to communicate with each other. It facilitates the interaction and exchange of data between software components, allowing them to work together seamlessly. APIs typically expose specific functionalities of an application or system and allow other applications to access them through a standardized interface This means that APIs are a way to enable different applications to share data and functionalities, and be able to integrate with each other.<\/p>\n

APIs are often used to facilitate easier integration between different applications, which can increase efficiency and reduce duplication of efforts. For example, an e-commerce application could use an API to access an online payment service, or a mobile application could use an API to access weather information.<\/p>\n

APIs can also be private or public, depending on whether they are designed to be used by a limited set of applications or by any application that meets the access requirements.<\/p>\n
