API
API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of protocols, routines, and tools
that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. APIs enable developers
to access certain features or data of an application, service, or platform without needing to know
the underlying code. Common uses include connecting apps, retrieving data, or integrating third-party services.
💡 Pro Tip:
APIs are widely used to connect web applications, mobile apps, and services. For example, using the Google Maps API, a website can display maps and location data without building the mapping system from scratch.
