API (Application Programming Interface), Explained HD

Application programming interfaces, or APIs, are connecting our digital world in ways we never thought possible. In this video, we’ll explain the basics of APIs and the exciting ways that they’re used today. For more on APIs, check out: http://bit.ly/WrikeAPIsFYI Our Technical Services Leader, Jorge Rojas, will walk you through the basics of application programming interfaces, which integrate most modern software tools to achieve more with fewer resources. An API, in the simplest terms, is a middleman that exchanges information between two separate pieces of software. You can think of an API much like Marty McFly’s Delorean in Back to the Future. In this example, the car itself is the program to which information is being delivered. The steering wheel and gas pedal are the interface with which the end user is interacting. Thus, the flux capacitor is the API, exchanging information between the two and allowing you to travel in time. We hope you enjoyed our explainer on APIs.
