Review: Web APIs
Overview
A Web API (Application Programming Interface) is a way for different applications to talk to each other over the internet. It allows one application to access features or data of another application, making it possible to share information and functionality between different systems.
"Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) are constructs made available in programming languages to allow developers to create complex functionality more easily. They abstract more complex code away from you, providing some easier syntax to use in its place." - MDN Web Docs
