API

Application Programming Interface

What is an API?

Sooo an API is basically an application that works on a meta-level and permits the exchange of informations between two software services through the use of protocols.

It is really interesting the idea of API's ecosystem >> It would be nice to explore in a graphical way the system of relations between different software services and API's that permits those relations.

Types of API's
