API Types, by Sarah Maddox
What is an API?
Application Programming Interface (API)
A means of communication
○ App to app
○ Automated
A description of the communication methods allowed
○ Requesting information
○ Sending information
○ Updating information
The mechanisms supporting those interactions
API Types, by Sarah Maddox
What is an API?
Usually not UI
○ Software-to-software interaction, not user interaction
○ May provide a UI widget
“Components” rather than “apps”?
○ Yes, that’s more precise
○ But “app” is good for most purposes
“APIs” = features within an API?
○ No, although fairly common usage
○ Those are classes, methods, endpoints, etc
