What is APIs?

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are sets of rules and specifications that software programs can follow to communicate with each other. They act as intermediaries, allowing different applications to exchange data and functionality without needing to know the underlying implementation details of each other. APIs are commonly used to integrate different systems, build web and mobile applications, and enable microservices architectures.
