Application Programming Interface
An API is a set of defined rules that enable different applications to communicate with each other. It acts as an intermediary layer that processes data transfers between systems, letting companies open their application data and functionality to external third-party developers, business partners, and internal departments within their companies. For developers, API documentation provides the interface for communication between applications, simplifying application integration.
