What is an API?

Application Programming Interface (API)

We often interact with the software or application by clicking drag and drop. We humans, interact with a user interface (UI) where we interact with buttons, arrows, and pictures.

But programs don’t understand UI. They required code to work. The main purpose of the API is to interact one program with another program using code.

API Management

It is the process of designing, publishing, documenting, and analyzing APIs in a secure environment. It aims to efficiently and effectively facilitate the requirements to fulfill the API’s purpose.

API Gateway

This works as a gatekeeper for all APIs by enforcing relevant API security policies because it is the entry point for client requests. It sits between a client and a collection of backend services to facilitate requests, combine results, and handle things like authentication.
