What is an API? Why does learning API matters?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of protocols, routines, and tools for building software applications.

It provides a way for different applications to communicate with each other and share data in a secure and structured way.

It acts as an interface between two different applications, allowing them to interact with each other, exchange data, and share resources.

It can be used to streamline processes, automate tasks, and integrate systems.

APIs can be used to access web services and databases, as well as to access software and hardware resources.

They can also be used to create custom applications and services that can interact with existing systems.

APIs can be used to create applications that can be used by other developers.
