An API For Human Technology

You’ve probably heard the term API 101 times, but what does API actually mean?

API stands for Application Programming Interface. APIs are the common language which lets one software product talk to another. They act as a door into your software, allowing other developers to interact with it.

Why would you need an API?

Think about the apps you’ve used today: Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Slack etc… they are all made better by interacting with each other. Take citymapper, using API’s from Transport for London and Google Maps, it allows you to see the exact time of your journey and the quickest route to your meeting and it highlights any delays. Simply put, APIs drive innovation, make the web more awesome and make your life a whole lot easier.

What does an API mean for humanising technology?

As an API, CloudEmotion can instill emotional experiences at every level of user interaction. Distributing our product in this way is vital for turning cold digital landscapes into a user-driven ecosystem.

We believe that placing humanity into the heart of our technology is vital. The means to do so should be open, accessible and as simple as possible.

To make our API integration as easy as possible our documentation was created by developers for developers. You can experiment with our API in our interactive console allowing you to refine your code before integration.

Emotions belong to you, the user. A solid emotional platform should be accessible to everyone. Put people at the heart of what you do. Get our CloudEmotion API now.
