APIs 101: Understanding Application Programming Interfaces

An API acts as a bridge between different applications, allowing them to exchange data and request services. It defines a specific format for the requests and responses, including the data structures, protocols, and conventions to be followed. It provides a layer of abstraction, shielding developers from the complexities of the underlying systems and enabling them to focus on their specific application logic.
