Acronym: API

API (Application Programming Interface) are definitions and protocols for building and integrating application software. An API is a software mediator that allows two applications to exchange data. The APIs are standards-compliant (HTTP and REST) that are user-friendly and readily available to developers. The API has its software development lifecycle (SDLC), which includes designing, testing, building, managing, and versioning, just like any other software produced. In addition, the APIs are well documented for use and version control
