1. What is API?

     API stands for Application Programming Interface. It's a set of rules and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other.

2. In Simple Terms

     An API is like a waiter in a restaurant:

• You (the app) tell the waiter (the API) what you want (e.g., data).
• The waiter goes to the kitchen (the server) to fetch it.
• The waiter brings the response back to you.

3. What Does an API Do?

• Allows apps to request and exchange data.
• Defines how software components should interact.
• Hides the complex backend and provides only what is necessary.

4. Real-World Examples

• A weather app uses an API to get data from a weather service.
• Online payments (like Stripe or PayPal) use APIs to process transactions.
• Google Maps API lets developers add maps to websites or apps.

5. Types of APIs

• REST API – uses HTTP and is common for web services.
• SOAP API – more structured, used in enterprise systems.
• GraphQL – flexible way to query only the data you need.
• Web APIs – APIs over the internet (e.g., Twitter API).

6. Why APIs Matter?

• Enable software integration.
• Save development time.
• Allow access to third-party services.
• Support innovation and automation.
