@ezbackend: What is an API? The "Application Programming Interface" (API) is a communication channel between various software services. Applications that transmit requests and responses are called clients and servers, respectively. An API is an external software component that makes program functionality available to other programs. In the honey bee 🐝 illustration below, the flower serves as the server, the hive serves as the client, and the bee provides the means of communication (REST API request). #softwareengineer #softwareengineering #developer #architecturedesign #systemdesign #distributedsystems #coding #api #learn
