Definition

API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of protocols and tools that allows different applications to communicate with each other. APIs are fundamental in the digital ecosystem because they enable integrating services, automating processes, and building functionality on top of existing platforms.

Examples

  • 1Stripe's API allows Crealo to process payments without building its own payment system.
  • 2Bunny.net's API enables uploading and serving course videos.
  • 3API integrations with email marketing tools like ConvertKit or Mailchimp.

How to apply it

As a creator, you don't need to program APIs. Platforms like Crealo handle integrations for you. If you're technical, you can use APIs to create advanced automations.
