One advantage of API 

An advantage of API would be the increased interoperability. This enables it to connect different software systems to communicate with each other. 


What does API use to send and receive data? 

API uses HTTP requests to access and use data. 


Identify three ways am API can be accessed 

  1. 1.HTTP Client: Using an HTTP client like REST-Client, Postman, or Paw is one of the easiest ways to start using an API. These tools help in making requests to the API server and receiving responses 

 

  1. 2.API Key: Access to an API is often controlled through API keys. These keys are used to authenticate and authorize the user to access the API resources 

 

  1. 3.API Call: Making an API call involves sending a request from the client to the server and receiving the requested information from the server. This process typically includes specifying the request method (e.g., GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) and handling the response status code
