  1.           Here’s Everything You Should Know About API Integration Services     API, an acronym for Application Program Interface is a set of protocols, tools &           routines to build a software application. If you want to understand in simple           words, we can say an API determines how different components in software               should interact with each other to expose business possibilities and services.             From time to time, we have seen different companies offer third party API               integration​ services to their clients. Let’s talk more about these. Keep reading!                                                                           CHARACTERISTICS OF AN API  ● APIs allow sharing information with external developers, and other teams         within the same company.                

  2. ● A high-quality API allows the development of applications by enabling           different functionalities to be created independently.   ● APIs allow you to expose some functions of a program or service in a             secured and managed environment.                               WHY GO FOR API INTEGRATION SERVICES?  You need a good ​custom API development​ partner for the following reasons:  ● APIs support the customer with easier access and partners.  ● It allows extension of reach to more services and channels.   ● It helps the surface of services for more flexibility.      WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF APIS?  #1 Internal (Private) API: ​These APIS are exposed to the existing developers           within an organization.     #2 External (Public) API: ​This type of APIs are open to any developer who             wants to sign up.     #3 Partner (Protected) API: ​This API is open to the selected business partners.       THE LIFECYCLE OF AN API  The lifecycle of an API consists of different components that include the               creation of API, running the APIs, management of the APIs and the last             monitoring of the APIs. Let’s know these components in detail.     ● Creation of APIs: The creation of the APIs includes development and           writing the definition and implementation, identifying and debugging         defects, and submitting the code of an API. then testing the application to             ensure the functionalities work as per the requirement.      ● Running the APIs: Running the APIs involves different stages i.e.         staging, packaging, and publishing the API.                                                                                                       

  3. ● Management of APIs: ​Management of APIs includes the set of rules and       conditions that govern the API; where, how, and with whom the API is           shared; and if the API is meeting its stated purpose.    ● Monitoring the APIs: Access control, monitoring, and logging are         necessary functions of properly securing an API.                                                WHAT MAKES AN EFFECTIVE API DESIGN    It is believed that APIs are excellent platforms for collaboration and innovation.               APIs are the base or foundation for many web and mobile apps.    ● Ease of Use: APIs with a decent design is pretty easy to learn and work             with so new clients can rapidly comprehend the working administration             structure.     ● Version Support and Documentation: ​High-quality APIs have broad       and documentation available to access which helps designers as they         work with the API. Swagger and API doc are examples of different tools             for API documentation is    ● Lined up with the Audience: ​APIs with a decent structure are lined up           with their focus on the crowd. They have the right interface type for the             expressed purpose, for example, Representational State Transfer (REST)         or Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and permit developers to         utilize the API to achieve the stated objective.
