Odds are multiple APIs are at work to make this happen.ĪPIs are everywhere, and we wanted to build a guide that talks about a few of the APIs that we like the most. Think about when you use your Facebook to log into another application, such as Spotify. Besides business uses, we also frequently use APIs in our daily lives. Maybe you want Slack to notify you when a payment from a customer is processed through Stripe an API can make this possible. For example, think about using a communication application, like Slack or Microsoft Teams, in conjunction with a payments platform like Stripe. Without APIs, you wouldn’t be able to connect any of the apps that you use on a daily basis. These tools have become crucial for many of the functionality increases that web-based applications have seen over the past decade. For context, this was a 30% increase in the monthly rate of APIs added and compares to only ~2,000 APIs existing in 2010.Īpplication programming interfaces (APIs) are interfaces that allow for the transfer of data between applications. In the first 6 months of 2019 alone, 1,320 APIs were added. APIs have rapidly grown in importance over the last decade.
