What is an API - [NON TECHNICAL] API Tutorial

"What is an API"?
I am pretty sure you would heard the term API and if you were wondering what it is, then this video is for you for you. Understanding of technology concepts is a huge plus for a Business Analyst role and also gives you an edge during the hiring process.
There are lots of good tech videos on RUclips for APIs, but in this video we will cover from a non-technical perspective for easy understanding
You will learn what an API is and we will use a simple case study as always to go over the concepts.
We have lot of requests to go over the tech concepts and this is the first video in that series.
