An API (Application Programming Interface) serves as a gateway to an existing application, such as the SIM Management System within an IoT connectivity application. It facilitates the accessibility of the application’s functionalities to external systems, thereby enabling communication between disparate systems. API’s are specifically designed to facilitate operations like populating, restoring, updating, and deleting values within the application. APIs leverage web-based protocols like HTTP and XML, using their capabilities to enable connectivity and interoperability.
The advantages of an API
APIs offer several advantages, such as enabling third-party integration, fostering collaboration between different systems, and promoting the development of new applications and services. They provide a standardised and controlled interface for accessing and manipulating data, ensuring security and proper authentication measures are in place.
Our platform uses REST API to integrate with external customer systems. To support REST API integration, we provide comprehensive knowledge resources.
