What Is API Calling
An API (Application Programming Interface) call is a request made by a software application to retrieve or send data from a web service.
Skill Needed To Build An API Call
Essentially, it’s a way for different software systems to communicate with each other over the internet. The API defines the kinds of requests that can be made, how to make them, and the data formats that should be used.
When an application makes an API call, it sends a request to an API endpoint, which is a specific URL provided by the web service. This request can include various parameters and data that specify what the application needs.
The web service then processes the request and sends back a response, typically in JSON or XML format, containing the requested data or confirmation of the action taken.
APIs are commonly used in web development to enable integration between different services and platforms. For example, a weather app might use an API call to get the latest weather data from a weather service, or an e-commerce site might use API calls to process payments through a payment gateway.
