What is an Application Programming Interface?

An API is an interface that allows applications to interact with others.

APIs allow for 2+ parts of a program to communicate and comprehend data with each other.

APIs can be of all different kinds of sizes and communicate all different types of data whether it be internally or from the web.

Benefits of an API

⚡️ Data/Delivery Consistency
👯*♀️ Replicable functions
🌐 Can be accessed by many

An example of an API would be accessing AWS services such as Lambda or S3, anytime you access these resources from your application you’re using an API.
