API (Application Programming Interface)

API stands for “Application Programming Interface”. It is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other

An example of an API being used is when a social media management platform like Plann integrates with the APIs of social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. Through these APIs, Plann can access functionalities like posting content, retrieving data, and managing accounts. Users can then schedule their posts within Plann, and the platform utilizes the social media APIs to automate the posting process at scheduled times.
