APIs explained
As one of the core building blocks of modern programming,
an application program interface, or API, encapsulates code
into an implementation-independent building block. To
use an API, a programmer need only understand the APIs
published specications, and so theres no need to know how
the underlying code actually works. In turn, the APIs publisher
can make improvements to the underlying code without
interfering with any the services that make use of the API.
This loosely coupled approach to programming enables fast
and easy creation of solutions that are greater than the sum of
their parts. For example, its long been common practice to see
websites retrieve and display search results using a Google
Search API, or to display products for sale using an Amazon
Product Advertising API.
Now, the API is taking hold across nancial services. Some
examples:
Endpoint Exchange enables banks to exchange electronic
check images using APIs;
