API is an acronym that stands for Application Programming Interface. As the name implies, this is a software intermediary between two applications that allow them to “talk to each other” or communicate with each other. All of the top popular systems and applications you know today ranging from Google to Facebook, Twitter, e.t.c. all run on APIs.
Put simply, when you connect an API from one application to another, you are making it possible to send a query from a user or application to a system and then return the system’s response back to the user. And that is why it is being used to great effect by many business organizations today who run online applications.
Benefits of APIs
If you run an online business where you use a web or mobile application, then you definitely know how important APIs are. Here are some benefits of APIs and why they are important;
- Automation: With APIs, you give commands to the machine to handle some of the tasks that would have normally been done manually. And of course, such automation makes the tasks easier and faster.
- Wider Reach: With APIs, you can connect two applications or websites together. What that does for you is give your business a wider reach as you are able to show your brand to other users or audiences that are not even currently on your website.
- Improves Connectivity and Collaboration: The core functionality of APIs is connectivity. And whether for internal use or external collaboration, APIs can be very effective.
- Increases Customer Experience and Satisfaction: With APIs, you can effectively develop new systems of communication with your customers, which is essential to achieve customer satisfaction and increased customer experience.
- Ease of Innovation: Sometimes, a lot of businesses dread innovation because of the cost and time. With APIs, you can get more innovative ideas onboard your business with fewer costs and time investment.
