Technology requires evolution met by change and innovation. Expedited distribution, driven by quick turnovers and new ideas are the major reasons behind API development solutions.
3. Introduction
API acronym stands for Application Programming Interface. In the programming language, an API
is a set of function, procedures, programming instructions, protocols, tools, and subroutine
definitions. They are used in various ways such as creating applications or as a communication
channel between applications and/or software. In simple words, API works as an intermediary
between two applications.
4. History of the API Launch
A little known fact about API’s developmental history is its initial launch in February of 2000 for
“Salesforce”. It was not intended for independent use outside of Saleforce. Although its
functionality was limited, 9 month after being introduced eBay API was created. APIs soon
began to appeal to other companies like as Twitter, Google maps, YouTube, Facebook and more.
5. What is the need of API Development solutions?
Technology requires evolution met by change and innovation. Expedited distribution, driven by
quick turnovers and new ideas are the major reasons behind API development solutions.
6. How do API’s work?
When queries are performed on the internet through the usage of an app from a smartphone,
the application sends the query data to a server for interpretation, the server interprets that
query data and execute actions, after it send back the data the query generated to the
smartphone.
7. Use and benefits of API for developer and users
There are many benefits and usages of the API but important ones are given below
Automate the process
Adaptation
Wider Scope
Application
Distribution
8. Automate the process
API smoothly runs by automation and reduces manual inputs therefore making it a very time
efficient tool.
10. Wider Scope
Creation of application layers can be used to improve user experiences. The API application
layers are sometimes used to inform and service specific audiences by personalization within an
app.
11. Application
API’s can effectively access information within the components of an app therefore provide a
flexible platform for modifying and delivering information and services.
13. Final Thought
The roles of API’s provide flexibility and cannot be excluded from software development.
Application objectives vary find Custom API solutions that would meet those business needs.
