API Development
Application Programming Interface (API) is indispensable to any web solution, software module, plugin, web application, or web design as it lays down the protocols / standards to access a web based app. Whether you want to create a web-based software application, or a web-tool, API plays a critical role in the success of your business endeavours, as it is an integral component that facilitates reliable interaction between computer hardware, databases, and software components.
Users of your software can only see the interface of your software. API is developed to seamlessly integrate different applications and work in the background so that the user is bothered about the flow of control between different applications. For example, users of your e-commerce website, who use a credit card for purchase, do not see the dialog between your software and the credit card’s authentication program. This is handled by API’s.
Importance of an API can be gauged from the fact that almost all powerful apps these days are powered by highly specialized APIs, each developed to execute a specific function.
What is an API?
An API or Application Programming Interface is a programming logic for accessing a web based app. An API acts as a software-to-software interface enabling apps to interact without any user knowledge or intervention. Behind every outstanding web application or mobile app, there is a feature rich API. In the world of app development, all apps are powered by numerous highly specialized APIs, each API developed to serve a specific function. This is why API development becomes so important.
API Development Services
We provide API development and API integration services across all industry verticals. We develop and integrate APIs for web, cloud, mobile applications and more.
API Development for Web-based Services
A web API works as an interface for both the web server and web browser. It is a framework for building HTTP services that can be used by a broad range of clients including browsers, tablets, and mobiles. Web APIs provide device compatibility and allow Web apps to access:
- Information about device hardware (such as battery status)
- Data stored on devices (such as calendars or contacts list)
API Development for Mobile Applications
With increasing use of mobile phones across all domains, more and more Mobile Apps are being created every day. We can create APIs for your mobile apps to achieve the following objectives (not limited to):
