API (Application Programming Interface) integration

API integration is a way different software systems communicate and work together. Think of an API as a bridge or interface that allows one application to request data or services from another in a structured way. For example, when a weather app shows you updates, it uses an API to fetch data from a weather server. Integration involves connecting these APIs into your own systems so they can share information seamlessly, enabling automation, efficiency, and functionality without rebuilding from scratch. It’s essential for creating interconnected digital tools that work smoothly together.
