What is a Web API?
A Web API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and specifications that allow different software systems to communicate with each other over the internet.
It acts as an intermediary, enabling one application to access data or functionality from another application, regardless of their underlying technologies or programming languages.

How do Web APIs work?
Web APIs typically use the HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) for communication, which is the same protocol used by web browsers to access websites. This makes them widely compatible and easy to integrate with different systems. When an application wants to access data or functionality from another application, it sends an HTTP request to the API endpoint. The API processes the request and sends back an HTTP response with the requested information, or a confirmation of the action performed. APIs often use data formats like JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) and XML (Extensible Markup Language) to exchange data in a structured and machine-readable way.

Data Sharing and Access
APIs allow applications to access and share data with each other, enabling new functionalities and services. This fosters innovation and allows businesses to leverage external data sources to enhance their offerings.
Innovation and Efficiency
APIs foster innovation by allowing developers to leverage existing functionalities and build new applications more efficiently. This accelerates development cycles and reduces time-to-market for new products and services.
