Hello there, everyone. I'm Kunal, and I prefer to share information with as many people as possible so that everyone can learn alongside me.
I was recently studying about APIs and their various varieties, which I'd like to share with you.
There are four types of APIs:
Public API:- Public APIs are available to any developers with a low or moderate level of authentication and authorisation. Any public API must be stable. Any modifications to the public API, such as introducing a new parameter, may cause apps that rely on that API to fail.
Private API:- Private APIs, also known as Internal APIs, are exclusively available to developers within a company or organisation.
Private APIs are used for a variety of purposes, including:
- Data Access Across Departments
- Establishing An App-Enabled Business
- Enabling Contractors to Construct Features
- Effectively manage the supply chain
Partner API:- Business partners have access to partner APIs. They are not accessible to the general public and require specific authentication to have access to them.
Composite API:- Composite API is a design strategy in which numerous API calls are combined into a single API query.
All of this information was obtained via Rapid API. Please check them out and share any thoughts you have in the Comments / Discussions.
