Everything you need to know about automatic programming interface
API (automatic programming interface) is a series of rules that “allow for an application to extract information from a piece of software and use that information in their own application”.
When it comes to doing business online, data collection and analysis are the most important elements. API is useful to you in this.
HubSpot columnist Kipp Bodnar has shared a detailed article on what API is and how marketers can put it into practice.
Bodnar says, “Understanding the value of a particular API is essentially about understanding what information is available through an API and how it can be accessed. To find out what a particular API can do for you, you can do one of two things.
- Ask a web developer to look at an API and discuss it with you.
- Do the research on your own. If you don’t have access or budget to use a web developer, this is an appealing option. But don’t panic — many online services have good API documentation.
