  1. What is meant by API with an example? Application Programming Interface( API) is a software interface that allows two operations to interact with each other without any stoner intervention. API is a collection of software functions and procedures. In simple terms, API means a software law that can be penetrated or executed. API is defined as a law that helps two different software’s to communicate and change data with each other. It offers products or services to communicate with other products and services without having to know how they ’re enforced. How does the api work? API Example 1: Let's see how API works using simple diurnal life illustration. Imagine that you went to an eatery to take lunch or regale. The server comes to you, gives you a menu card, and you'll give him an order like you want a veg sandwich but without onion. After some time, you'll get your order from the server. Still, it isn't that simple as it looks as there's some process that happens in between. Then, the server plays an important part as you'll neither go to the kitchen to collect your order nor will you tell the kitchen staff what you want all this done by the server. The API also does the same by taking your request, and just like the server tells the system what you want and gives a response back to you. API Example 2: For illustration, you go to the movie point, enter your movie, name, and credit card information, and behold, you publish your tickets. They're uniting with other operations. This integration is called “ flawless,” as you now may have an indication when a software part is passed from one operation to another. Features of API It offers a precious service( data, function, followership,.). It helps you to plan a business model. Simple. Flexible. Snappily espoused Managed and measured.

  2. Offers great inventor support. Types of API: Open APIs: These types of APIs are intimately available to use like OAuth APIs from Google. It has also not given any restriction to use them. So, they're also known as Public APIs. Partner APIs: Specific rights or licenses to pierce this type of API because they aren't available to the public. Internal APIs: Internal or private. These APIs are developed by companies to use in their internal systems. It helps you to enhance the productivity of your brigades. Composite APIs:This type of API combines different data and service APIs. API Testing tools: 1) Postman: Postman is a plugin in Google Chrome, and it can be used for testing API services. It's an important HTTP customer to check web services. For homemade or exploratory testing, Postman is a good choice for testing API. Features: With Postman, nearly all ultramodern web API data can be uprooted Helps you to write Boolean tests within Postman Interface You can produce a collection of REST calls and save each call as part of a collection for prosecution in unborn For transmitting and entering REST information, Postman is more dependable. 2) Ping API: Ding- API is API testing that allows us to write test scripts in JavaScript and CoffeeScript to test your APIs. It'll enable examining the HTTP API call with a complete request and response data. Features: Ding- API to schedule tests in every twinkles or hour Support for jotting script to set request heads, body, and URL parameters. It supports jotting script to validate response heads and body Validate smut inflow and log in to Ping API. 3) vREST: vREST API tool provides an online result for automated testing, mocking, automatic recording, and specification of REST/ HTTP APIs peaceful APIs.

  3. Features: It provides an total tool to validate your REST APIs snappily Helps you to delivers zero- disfigurement web operations with lower trouble in API testing You can validate your web operation No professed coffers are needed, and it can induce attestation for your API specifications Application of API: ●Batch Distribution / Drive Traffic. ●Expand Footprint. ●Feature Development ●Explore New Business Models. ●Content Acquisition Advance Business Model. ●Internal Content Distribution / Innovation.
