Hi Friends, I am Anshul Tiwari and welcome to our youtube channel ITkFunde.
About this video -
In this video, we will understand the basics of an API (Application Programming Interface). API is an interface or communication protocol using which two programs interact with each other.
API really makes programmer life easy by providing extended functionalities via public APIs. API hides all complexity and provides extensive functionalities that can be easily integrated with another application.
I have explained API with a real-life example of a coffee vending machine, so do check out the full video.

Thanks a lot Miguel for your generous feedback and support 🙏🙏

[@kaushik75shah]

I have seen multiple videos of yours, the best thing about them is the examples that you come up with. You make the most complex topic easy to understand. Kudos to you.

[@iconic41890]

This has got to be the most clear and detailed explanation of how API works! Thank you for sharing!

[@pogo55555]

I agree with the comments I have seen. This use of analogy is very helpful. I'm going to see if you have any videos that dig into this a bit more. Thank you for the edification.

[@kiransatyan]

Super helpful, Very nice example. Thanks again !

[@totieLitie7798]

nice explanation

[@azhagurajaallinall126]

Thank you for this..
API is simply in working way as "using tools,Internal parts without need to connect,remodel our toolbox(here application/app) in whole"
just using better tools got different from better toolboxes and having our own special collection = App with different APIs
Use APIs securely,like having a button to share to whatsapp,instagram,gmail,doesn't mean the connecting(integrating) tool get whole permission to use our data & exploit Apps..
means only use selected features than whole applications
Hope wish you all reach your goals,dreams,happiness in life
all will be well 😃🌟✨🙌

[@ITkFunde]

thanks Lavi 😊

[@quentinlintz]

I like that latte example. I also subscribed to your channel--you have my support! Another interesting thing about APIs is they don't always need to be public-facing. For example, if a company wants to build a really complex application they can divide up the developers into teams to work on separate segments of the app. The teams have to define their 'scope' and a 'use case diagram' for their part of the app so the other dev teams know how to interact with it. Then, in the end you have a fully integrated, complex app that can be easily maintained. Components can be swapped out as long as they adhere to the API rules and without affecting the rest of the application.

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Quentin for your support. Thanks for sharing this important piece of information, yes APIs can be public, private and partner, this is awesome thank you for adding value to this personal initiative. Do suggest some topics, my goal is to break complex tech jargons into easy relatable examples. And such inputs really helps a lot. Do checkout my other videos and leave your feedback it helps.

[@meghanaekbote4732]

@@ITkFunde Thanks for the example. I come from developing background too but it's been a long time I coded some. Now I'm into product management & trying to brush up my basics all over again. I'm always learning. If you can, in your next video, can you cover API integrations. I know it's a huge topic but you can cover in various series of videos.

[@ITkFunde]

Thanks Meghna for your valuable feedback I will defintely make something on APIs in future. Do checkout my other videos it may help. Spread the word ! Cheers Anshul

[@abhiamit22]

Hi there..i am a newbie in IT..trying to switch fields. I have watched a lot of your videos for understanding many concepts starting from basics such as your video on networking, vpn etc. They have helped me tremendously in understanding the very very basic terms used within IT field. Thank you for such a great explanation of API. I have come across this term many times in my azure courses and it has helped me. Can I request you to make some videos on relational and non-relational databases? Thanks and cheers.

[@nationalamerican]

I'm sure you've found good videos since your comment but I thought I'd post this reply in case other people were also wanting to know. Try viewing ruclips.net/video/E9AgJnsEvG4/видео.html. It is a very simple explanation of relational vs non-relational databases.
