About an API
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of protocols, tools, and definitions that allows different software applications to communicate and interact with each other. It acts as an intermediary, enabling the integration of various systems by defining the methods and data formats that applications can use to request and exchange information. APIs are essential for building software ecosystems, as they allow developers to leverage functionalities of other services without needing to understand their internal workings. Common uses of APIs include retrieving data from a server, integrating third-party services, and enabling communication between microservices within an application. APIs can be public, allowing external developers to access certain functionalities, or private, intended for internal use within an organization.
