APIs, short for Application Programming Interfaces, are sets of rules and protocols that allow different software applications to communicate and interact with each other. APIs act as intermediaries, enablingdata exchange and functionality integration between diverse software systems.
An easy way of explaining APIs is to think of them as a gateway to an external server that is granting you access to its contents.
A REpresentational State Transfer (REST) API icommonly used in web services allowing users (the client) to send requests and receive responses from the server using HTTP methods such as GET or POST. Also common among web formats is XML. Although it can be returned as a REST response, XML is commonly associated with Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) APIs given that it is the only format supported by SOAP.

Join Kieran O’Donnell of Locus as he presents on Extendng with APis. An API is a set of rules and protocols that allows software applications to communicate and interact with each other. They are essential tools for developers as they offer time efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and access to specialized services without the need to develop everything from scratch. Through APIs, developers can easily integrate Custom FME Transformers, enhancing the overall functionality and flexibility of their applications and data processing pipelines.
We can provide expert guidance and support.
