What is API integration software?
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of programming tools used by developers to integrate functionality offered by third parties. Using an API will let developers build software more quickly, with a richer set of features and less need for ongoing maintenance. Most APIs are available via the cloud, further reducing the effort and cost of software development and seamlessly connecting data, applications, and machines. In other words, the API gives a foundational set of tools that streamline the development of software, ensure data and application connectivity across an organization, and extend the connectivity with partners and customers.
