API (Application Programming Interface)

A set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate and share data with each other.

What Is API (Application Programming Interface)?

An API defines how software components should interact, allowing different applications to exchange data and functionality. REST APIs and GraphQL are common web API patterns. APIs enable integrations between your website and third-party services like payment processors (Stripe), CRMs (Salesforce), email platforms (Mailchimp), and shipping providers

For businesses, APIs are the connective tissue that allows different software systems to work together, enabling automation and eliminating manual data transfer between tools.
