API and Integrations

Information on API's and integrations An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of protocols, routines, and tools for building software applications. It provides developers with a standardized way to interact with an external system or service, by defining the types of requests that can be made, the format of the data that will be returned, and the rules for processing the requests. In simpler terms, an API is a set of instructions that allow different software applications to talk to each other. It enables one software application to access the functionality of another, without having to understand the underlying details of how that functionality works. This makes it easier for developers to create complex applications that integrate with other systems or services. For example, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter offer APIs that allow developers to build applications that can access their data, such as retrieving user profile information or posting updates. E-commerce websites like Amazon and eBay also offer APIs that allow developers to integrate with their product catalog and checkout processes.
