What is API and Integration?

The method used to connect a database with another web page is called API (Application Programming Interface). Its advantage is that by connecting with a large program, you can show its features on your website or web page, for this, you do not need to create a separate program or software. Today it has contributed a lot to web development, such as booking application apps are its biggest example, along this payment gateway is its second example.

Why need API and integration?

Here we want to tell you that if any such program is working with multiple features and you want to connect it with a front-end developing page, then you will integrate it here according to its documentation and the result of the user's interaction on it will be calculated by the existing server (from whose API you have used) and the result will be brought to your page. Developers use it and use it on a very large scale. Suppose you have some other database on which you have a lot of data and today you have to create a web page on which you want the data from our own dynamic database to be shown here, then you will create its API and integrate it. Whenever the user comes to your web page, whatever interaction he does from there will be directly connected to your database, whereas where you have integrated your API, you will not need to manage the database separately. Sometimes many websites and portals are connected to the same database. Here, if you make a change in one place, then that change is seen in all the portals and websites. Here also developers use API programs only. If we talk about API, then two types of API programs are developed in the market, the rest API gives you data in JSON and soap API gives you data in XML. By using these two API methods, designers make their designs dynamic.
