Understanding and Using APIs

After completing this Understanding and Using APIs training, you'll know how to use APIs to accelerate and simplify repetitive yet complex processes into something reusable and versatile. APIs, or Application Programming Interfaces, are how the Internet keeps going. Many APIs are so commonplace we can easily forget that's what they are — for example, our browser receiving a response from an HTTP web server.
