IntroductionAPIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, are the invisible connectors that let different software systems talk to each other.They make it possible for apps to share data, perform actions, and deliver seamless user experiences.Whether you’re ordering food or checking maps, APIs are working behind the scenes.In this blog, we’ll explore what APIs are, how they work, and why they matter.By the end, you’ll have a clear understanding of how APIs power the apps we每天使用。什么是API？ API作为应用程序编程接口。API（应用程序编程接口）扩展，是一组规则和协议，允许不同的软件应用程序相互通信。它充当一个中间设备，使一个程序能够从另一个程序请求数据或服务。这是两个应用程序之间的通信方式，其中应用程序的平台或技术方面可能有所不同。可以看到交货伙伴在地图上移动。 Google Maps API acts like a helper, giving Swiggy/Zomato all the location and route details they need to keep you updated.Types of API :We can categorize APIs into many categories, but in most cases, APIs are categorized into two types: SOAP and REST.SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) -> supports only XML dataREST (Representational State Transfer) -> supports many formats like XML, JSON, htmlboth是Web服务。 （Internet上的API称为Web服务，所有Web服务都是API。）Web服务是HTTP中包含的API。 Web服务需要网络，而API不需要网络才能进行操作。理解REST APIREST API（代表性状态传输API）是一种遵循REST原理的Web API，是DES
