API Development and Integration

Your guide to building and integrating powerful APIs for seamless connectivity.

Types of APIs

APIs can be categorized into several types based on their usage and access:

Open APIs (Public APIs): Available to developers and third parties with minimal restrictions.
Internal APIs (Private APIs): Used within an organization to improve efficiency and data sharing.
Composite APIs: Allow accessing multiple endpoints in a single call, often used in microservices.
RESTful APIs: Based on REST architecture, these APIs use standard HTTP methods for communication.
SOAP APIs: Protocol-based APIs that use XML for message format and rely on other application layer protocols.

Enhanced Functionality: APIs allow the integration of third-party services, enhancing application capabilities.
Streamlined Processes: Automate repetitive tasks and streamline workflows through integrations.
Improved User Experience: APIs enable the creation of more responsive applications with real-time data.
Scalability: APIs facilitate scaling applications by allowing developers to add new features easily.
Better Collaboration: APIs provide a common interface for various teams, fostering collaboration and innovation.
