API (Application Programming interface)

 API(Application Programming interface)

API (A = Application, P = Programming and I = Interface) this is an interface that is very simple and fast for user work. An API  is the interface of any web application designed in JSON format.

In future, all the work of web application or web development will be done on the basis of API . If you make any small application  whether it is static or dynamic . It takes at least one week to make it.

And if we do this work by first creating an API  for that application then we will finish it in 2 or 3 days.

Work of API 

The application programming interface is one such platform. Which makes the task of any software development very easy.

the API has been divided into many formats such as - JSON format, Text format, HTML format and XML format.

Future of API 

The time in software development industries is of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. But Artificial Intelligence and machine learning also cannot work at an advanced level without API .

Who makes API

The software industry is so large that it has a lot's of categories to build applications. For example - Fronted developer (these are bay developers who only design applications.)


Backend developers (they are developers who work in database or storage connections in software. These developers make API ),

Admin Developer (These are the developers who are the master of data analytics or ware house.)

Cloud developer (These are the developers who use cloud computing in any company. The Company how to create cloud Infra. That is their job)

System analytics developer (that is they are developers who make the computers with the software according to the needs of the business customer.)

Types of APIs 

Most API's are already built in the market but it can be made anytime according to the need of the software. By the way it is not possible to say any fix types of API . Because it is unlimited. Lichen I am telling you some API  new types here from my experience.

QGIS API 

QGIS API it has a full form Quantum  Graphics Information System.  the most important part of the google map or  google satellite map.  you can find out where to get from below the ground with great depth.

" It's the most useful of this API or technologies in building tunnels under the ground,  laying water and gas pipelines , making rail tunnels under the hills or metro tunnels below the ground ".

Payment API

Payment API  is the API used in live online portals or logistic and ecommerce applications. In today's time, any ecommerce portal or application comes first of all is the need payment gateway or payment API .

Map or GIS API 

GIS means graphical user interface, you can also call it google map API  Through this, only you can see only the outer part of the map. while has Quantum Graphics Information inside it.

Web Services API 

 Web services are API s that are used to talk between two different platforms, you can call them web services APIs, they are also called REST API's.

To say rest API means that the rest of the architecture in them is already made up of many methods like edit, update, delete and fetch and many other methods are just basic level.

Future APIs 

70% of the upcoming software development work will be in the API base, because no matter what programming language you use in the world, it will not be related to theAPI  Due to the API, software development is easily done and saves time.

Summary

In this article, I have given you the information related to the API  what is the API, what is their purpose and in which areas can we use the API  with software development.
