What Is API?

APIs (application programming interfaces) enable communication between software applications by defining the rules and protocols for how they interact. They allow different systems to exchange data and functionality, facilitating seamless integration and interoperability in software development.

APIs (application programming interfaces) allow developers to access and interact with the functionality of other software components or services. They promote interoperability, code reuse, and efficient development by providing a standardized way for different systems to communicate.

REST API (representational state transfer application programming interface) is a set of rules and conventions for building and interacting with web services. It uses standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and operates on representations of resources.

API integration involves connecting and allowing communication between different software systems using application programming interfaces (APIs). It enables the exchange of data and functionalities between diverse applications.

APIs (application programming interfaces) can be categorized into web APIs (HTTP-based APIs), library-based APIs (functions within a library), and operating system APIs (system-level interfaces).
