API

In Nep 2020 API stands for Application Programming Interface .

An Application Programming Interface (API) is a set of protocols, routines, and tools for building software and applications. An API defines how software components should interact, and APIs allow for communication between different software systems.

An API specifies how software components should interact and provides a way for different software systems to communicate with each other. For example, if a company builds a website and wants other developers to be able to build apps that use the website's data, it can create an API that tells developers how to access and use the website's data.

APIs are usually used to make software applications, but they can also be used to:

  1. Access and retrieve data from a website or a database.
  2. interact with a software system or platform to perform specific tasks
  3. Enable communication between different software systems and applications.
  4. Enhance the functionality of an existing software application.

Developers can use APIs to create new applications or businesses to allow third-party developers to build new applications that interact with their systems. APIs are widely used in developing web-based applications and mobile apps and are an essential tool for connecting different software systems and services.
