When you’re designing new tools and products or managing existing ones APIs give you flexibility; simplify design, administration, and use; and provide opportunities for innovation.
API are a simplified way to connect your own infrastructure through cloud-native app development, but they also allow you to share your data with customers and other external users.
Why is API use ?
APIs are needed to bring applications together in order to perform a designed function built around sharing data and executing pre-defined processes. They work as the middle man, allowing developers to build new programmatic interactions between the various applications people and businesses use on a daily basis.
