API stands for Application Programming Interface. It is a set of rules and protocols that enable different software applications to communicate and share data seamlessly. API development involves designing, building, and maintaining these interfaces, while API integration focuses on connecting different software systems through APIs to enable smooth data exchange and functional interoperability.
Through APIs, your business software can automate tasks, synchronize data, and connect with third-party services like payment gateways, CRM platforms, cloud services, and more. Proper API development and integration ensure that disparate systems work together efficiently, reducing manual intervention and errors.
