A set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other.
Think of an API as a waiter in a restaurant. You give the waiter your order, the waiter takes it to the kitchen (the server), and then brings your food (the data) back to you. In web and mobile app development, APIs allow your app to talk to other services. For example, if your app needs to process payments via Paystack or Flutterwave, or if it needs to display a Google Map, it uses an API to securely request that information. Our backend engineers at SkyFig Technologies build robust, secure, and lightning-fast APIs to power your digital solutions.
