What is API (Application Programming Interface) and how does it facilitate software integration?
Solution:Jump to solution
An Application Programming Interface (API) serves as an intermediary that allows different software applications to communicate and interact with each other. It defines a set of rules, protocols, and tools that enable the building of software and application components, making it easier to integrate diverse systems.

You wanna implement an API on your software or use an API provided by others ?
API provided by others
let's say you want to integrate a service like google sheets, or google calendar into your software.
To do that you check the API provided by Google. The sheets API allows you to open read and write any spreadsheet document you have permission to edit.
Any service (not just google sheets) you can check the API documentations on how to connect, authenticate and send requests to the API.
Got it , thank you so much

For sure , have a good day
