In layman language, a web API is a piece of software which is stored on a web server and is accessed using HTTP protocol. It is designed for application programmers, not for end users. It represents reusable business logic and is shared by web and mobile applications.
With the help of the following scenario, we can understand the need of web APIs. Let's “XFoods” be a famous fast food restaurant of your city which wants to provide the facility of ordering food online to its customers.
Martin, the owner of XFoods, decides that he needs a website as well as Android and iPhone apps for the restaurant. The website and mobile apps will have common data and features but different user interfaces. The common data and features should be implemented as a Web API and shared by the website and mobile apps.
API integration is the process of integrating an application to in-house or external APIs. When you sign in using Facebook, Gmail, Twitter or any other social media platform to a mobile app or web application, that mobile app or web application uses the authentication API of the social media platform i.e. it is integrated with the API of the platform.
Similarly when you make a payment, book a hotel or flight, compare insurance quotes on an insurance aggregator website or mobile app, that website or mobile app uses the third party APIs for providing those services to you.
Web APIs can be developed in one programming language and used by applications developed in other programming languages. We have a team of highly experienced API programmers for NodeJs, Java, Grails and .Net. Our API programmers are proficient in developing APIs for all domains and can integrate any third party API to your application. We provide:
Over the years, we have developed APIs for domains such as social media, micro-finance, sports & leisure, e-commerce, productivity, fitness etc. We have also integrated APIs for insurance and Fintech domains.
