Web APIS

What is an API?

An API (Application programming interface) is a set of events, methods, properties and URLs that the developers use to interact with the components of a user's web browser. APIs can also interact with the data sets, hardware or software on a user's computer and third party softwares and services.

What are Web API's? Web APIs use javascript to manipulate the webpages. It is a prebuilt code that comes readily available inside of our browser environment. We use web APIs to create elements and add them to the browser, or to add and remove styles and attributes via Javascript.
