Application Programming Interface (API): Definition, Types and Examples

In today’s linked digital environment, APIs allow for smooth data transfer, encourage new ideas, and improve program cooperation.

Which among REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs to choose from is a function of the project needs, complexity, and skill level of the development team.

To create an API, one must first determine its purpose, then design, build, test, and finally deploy it, whereas to use an API, one must first choose which API best suits their needs, then get an API key, and then link the appropriate apps.
