Hello everyone,Welcome to your Own Blog, Introduction To Apis Using Postman. Together we will Learn and explore more about apis using Postman.
Learn about Api's And Why Should I use One
Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) allow services to communicate with each other. Software has become more complex and collaborative over the years. Developers no longer need to create every service from scratch. APIs allow developers to access data from a service (like Google or Twitter) without any Knowledge of how the coderbase has been implemented.
There's an API for everything.
The Cat Api, OpenWeatherMap, Genius, Discord,
Youtube-to-MP3, Spotify, Twitter, Facebook, Google,
And so many more!
Postman - Postman is a collaborative API development platform that simplifies creating, using, and testing APIs with a UI.
