You don't need to know how the kitchen operates, just how to order from the menu. APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, act as a contract for communication between different software systems. They allow one piece of software (the client) to request services or data from another piece of software (the server or service provider) in a defined and structured way, without needing to know the internal workings of the other system. They are essentially a set of protocols that govern how software applications should interact. Now below I have discussed about the basics of APIs: types(web APIs and other types) and about the components of APIs. API Types A...
