What is an API? Axway experts answer API questions.
An API is an Application Programming Interface that uses definitions and protocols for connecting applications. APIs let your product or service communicate with other products and services without having to know how they're implemented.
These days, API tends to refer to web APIs or REST APIs, which utilize the HTTP protocol, and they're very important because developers can then easily use functionality from other systems to provide that connectivity.
But they're also great at being able to package up those functions and systems into what we might call business capabilities. That's where the real power of APIs has been realized in a lot of organizations.
