Web APIs

Web APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, are sets of rules that allow different software applications to communicate over the internet. They enable programs to request and exchange data from one another, much like how a waiter takes your order and delivers food at a restaurant. For example, a weather app uses a Web API to fetch the latest forecast from a remote server. This interaction allows developers to build applications that leverage external data and services, enhancing functionality and user experience without needing to create everything from scratch.
