API (Application Program Interface)

An API (Application Programming Interface) enables you to connect two software applications, allowing them to communicate and share data. APIs also provide the tools and protocols necessary for developers to build new applications by integrating existing services and functionalities.

With an API, you can tap into your design and engineering data, which means you can innovate how you work. Whether you want to build solutions that automate processes, connect teams and workflows, or visualize your data, you can utilize APIs to achieve these goals. APIs can connect to various tools and workflows, allowing for customized data interaction and automation.

While API connects computers or software to each other, UI (User Interface) connects computer to an end user.
