APIs

Question

I have learned a bit about python APIs but i dont understand them and dont know what theyre used for.
Can anyone explain to me what are APIs?

Answer 1

APIs are various features of one product that you might see in other software. Some APIs are free - you can use them in your Python code if you include them correctly. Simply put, an API is a set of fully developed and tested functions for performing a specific task. For example, Google Translate. This translator isn't just used in Google products. You can see Google's translation process in other products. Other API examples: weather forecast on Android screens, voice input.
