What Is an API?
API stands for Application Programming Interface.
Application : If you have a smartphone, you are well acquainted with what applications are, i.e., the
tools, games, social networks and other software that we use everyday.
Programming : Programming is how engineers create all the software that make our lives so much
easier.
Interface : An interface is a common boundary shared by two applications or programs that
allow both to communicate with one another.
So an API is essentially a way for programmers to communicate with a certain application.
Why it’s important?
• Allow access to a set of data
from an application
• Creating value by structuring ,
connecting and releasing data
• Provide opportunities for
partnerships to co- develop
innovative applications
