What Is an API?
An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of standards for how a server and clients talk to each other. Using REST/HTTP methods, JSON data can be transferred with ease.
- Standardization – defined through URL, Method, Headers, and Body
- Easy to use – you can test it out with curl/Postman/SDKs
- Scalability – stateless operations can be scaled up easily
Good practice Writing detailed documentation makes for a much better Developer Experience.
