API call
Think of an API (Application Programming Interface) as a restaurant waiter. When you place an order, the waiter takes it to the kitchen and returns your meal. Similarly, an API lets different software applications communicate.
An API call is a request sent from one software to an API to get information or perform a task. Here's how it works:
- Request: What you want, like ordering a pizza.
- Endpoint: The specific address where your request is sent, like the restaurant's address.
- Response: The information returned by the API, like receiving your meal.
API calls allow different systems to work together, enhancing functionality. Quaderno can integrate with your sales platform through API calls, automatically updating your tax records with transaction details.
