Consider all the software that you use in your life. It doesn’t matter if you’re a developer or a regular user that just casually browses the internet and checks up on social networks. Almost all software that you can identify uses some form of API.

APIs (application programming interfaces) enable software applications to communicate with other pieces of software consistently. Either internally to connect to a component of the application or externally to connect to a service.

Using API-based components and services in development is also a great way of maintaining scalability and productivity as it enables you to develop multiple applications based off of modular and reusable components, allowing scalability and facilitating maintenance.

We should also take into account that multiple online services have front-facing APIs and that you can use them to easily integrate things like social media logins, credit card payments, behavior tracking, and many other functionalities…

In this video, I will show you how to create a simple API with Nodejs, a detailed and complete guide for beginners.
