API

API stands for Application Programming Interface, which is a set of specifications that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. APIs facilitate the exchange of information and are crucial for the functionality of many modern applications. They can provide significant value to organizations by enabling integration and interaction between various services and systems.

APIs can be categorized into three main types:

  1. Public APIs (or Open APIs) are accessible to external users with minimal restrictions. An example is the Google Maps API, which allows developers to integrate Google’s mapping capabilities into their applications.

  2. Private APIs (or Internal APIs) are used within an organization to share resources and facilitate communication between internal systems.

  3. Partner APIs are technically similar to public APIs but are intended for a specific purpose and are shared with a limited audience, often requiring authentication.

Understanding APIs is essential for developers as they form the backbone of many applications and services today.
