BASIC TYPES OF API’S

Recapitulating need of API’s, lets us move towards different types of API we are used to cater requirements of the company or organization.              

API’s are divided as:

  1. OPEN API’S: As the name suggests, these API’s are accessible at public level without any restrictions.
  2.  PARTNER API’S: Theses API’s deny access unless specific rights or license are provided to the user.
  3.  INTERNAL API’s: They are also called private API’s and used by people working internally in any company to improve their services.
  4.  COMPOSITE API’S:  These API’s club together various data and services together to speed up execution process and develop an effective web interface.

Getting to know about different API’S, lets now come to how Web service API’s (Hold on, we will learn about it in my next write-up) combine with Web API’S (Open, partner, internal and composite API) to complete the whole task of API development.

Stay tuned and enjoy tech!
