API’s or Application Programming Interface, are a set of instructions or standards that allow software and applications to communicate with each other. API’s are used so that users can take the information, content, and services from one software and compare them to the information from another software. This way, users can use all the services and benefits of two or more applications for more comprehensive results and improved conversion.
