Conclusion
By now, you must have had a clear idea of What is API? it’s working, types, testing tools used, etc. After understanding these concepts, you can try working on them by implementing some of the concepts in projects. Not just theoretical knowledge, you must also have a practical idea of it by working on it. Developers must have a deep understanding of APIs in order to implement them.
What is an API (Application Programming Interface)
Everyone is in search of the highest-paying job so as to get into it. And, in the list, the web developer has been on the top for years and will remain in the same place due to its demand. If you’re the one who’s looking to get into it. you must be aware of the most important terms used in it. Out of all the terms, API is yet another term that plays a very important role in building a website. Now, what is an API – (Application Programming Interface)?
To make you clear with the diagram of what is API, let’s take a real-life example of an API, you can think of an API as a waiter in a restaurant who listens to your order request, goes to the chef, takes the food items ordered and gets back to you with the order. Also, if you want to look for the working of an API with the example, here’s one. You’re searching for a course(let’s say DSA-Self Paced) on the XYZ website, you send a request(product search requested) through an API, and the database searches for the course and checks if it’s available, the API is responsible here to send your request to the database (in search of the course) and responds with the output(best DSA courses).
