Developer API

Definition

A developer API, or Application Programming Interface, provides a set of defined rules and tools that allow different software applications to communicate with each other. It acts as an interface, enabling developers to build new applications or integrate existing services by accessing specific functionalities or data from a platform. In the context of blockchain, APIs allow external programs to interact with blockchain networks, query data, or initiate transactions without needing to run a full node. This simplifies the creation of decentralized applications.
