What Is API Integration?

Definition: An API integration connects two or more software applications through their Application Programming Interfaces, allowing them to exchange data and trigger actions programmatically without manual intervention.

API Integration Explained

REST APIs are the most common integration method in e-commerce, using HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to manage resources. Authentication typically uses API keys, OAuth tokens, or session-based auth. Good API integrations include error handling, rate limiting, and retry logic.
