FAQs
What does an API developer do?
An API (Application Programming Interface) developer plays a critical role in the digital landscape by designing, building, and maintaining APIs. These professionals ensure that different software applications can communicate effectively, sharing data and functionality. API developers are responsible for the entire lifecycle of an API, from conceptualising and designing the API architecture to implementing security measures, documenting the API for other developers, and maintaining it post-deployment. Their work enables the seamless integration of diverse systems, enhancing the functionality and user experience of software applications.
What are the 4 types of API?
APIs are categorised based on their accessibility and intended use, each serving distinct purposes in the software development ecosystem:
- Public APIs (Open APIs): Designed for widespread use, these APIs are publicly available for developers, allowing them to enhance their applications with features and data from other services.
- Private APIs (Internal APIs): Used within an organization, these APIs streamline internal operations and communications, not intended for external use. They facilitate improved integration and efficiency across different internal software systems.
- Partner APIs: These are specifically designed for strategic business partners. They offer a controlled level of access, enabling secure data exchange or functionality sharing between companies that have agreed to collaborate.
- Composite APIs: Aimed at improving performance and speed, composite APIs combine multiple API calls into a single call. This reduces the number of requests sent and simplifies the process for developers working on complex integration tasks.
How does API work for beginners?
For beginners, understanding APIs can be simplified by comparing them to a restaurant's service model. Imagine an API as a waiter who takes your order (a request) and conveys it to the kitchen (a system). The kitchen prepares your meal (processes the request) and the waiter delivers the dish back to you (the response). In digital terms, when an application wants to access data or functionalities from another service, it sends a request through the API. The API then queries the relevant system for that information or action and returns the response to the requesting application. This interaction allows different software applications to communicate and share resources efficiently.
What is an API example?
A familiar example of an API is the process of searching for flights on a travel website. When you enter your travel dates and destination, the website uses the airlines’ APIs to retrieve available flights and displays them for you. The APIs act as intermediaries, allowing the travel service to access the airlines' databases without needing direct access to their internal systems.
What is an API in simple terms?
In simple terms, an API is a set of rules and protocols that allows one software application to access the services and data of another. It’s a bridge that enables two different systems to communicate with each other, allowing developers to tap into functionalities or data without having to build those features from scratch.
What is an example of a real-time API?
A real-time API example is the streaming of live sports scores. Websites and mobile apps use these APIs to fetch and display live game scores from various sports leagues instantly. This allows fans to follow their favourite teams and games in real time, even if they cannot watch the game live. The APIs ensure that the data is updated continuously, providing the latest scores and game statistics as they happen.
