API Development

API development involves creating application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow different software programs to communicate with each other. Think of an API as a set of rules and tools that enables applications to request and exchange data seamlessly. For example, when you use an app to check the weather, it uses an API to fetch information from a weather service. Developers design APIs to be efficient and easy to use, ensuring that different systems—from mobile apps to web services—can work together smoothly, enhancing functionality and user experience without needing to know the underlying complexities.
