What is an API ? how API will work

 What is an Application Programming Interface(API)? An API is a set of instructions that allows two software applications to communicate with each other. APIs can be used for many purposes, such as retrieving information from a database, sending data between two pieces of software, or showing content from one website to another. Developing an API is a process that takes time and effort.

Then developers need to build out the functionality needed by the interface and finally test it before releasing it to customers.

APIs are the most efficient way for developers to share their code and data with other developers
