Web API: Interoperability

1) What is Web API?

  • An API that serves as an interface for web-based services or resources is commonly referred to as a "web API."

  • It may consist of one or more endpoints to define request and response.

2) How does Web API work?

  • Client Query: The client initiates a request to the API, specifying its requirements.

  • Server Handling: The API server processes the client's request, executing necessary operations.

  • Response Generation: The server constructs a response, typically in a structured format.

  • Client Incorporation: The client integrates and uses the received data or results as necessary.

3) How to use Web API?

  • Access and Authentication: Obtain an API key or token by signing up with the API provider.

  • Request Data or Actions: Use your API key to send requests to the API for the information or actions you need.

  • Receive and Process Responses: Get and process the data or results that the API sends back to your application.

  • Utilize Retrieved Data: Once authenticated, utilize the data or results obtained from the API in your application or system.
