Create your very own API using python
<p>An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of code that allows two software programs to communicate with each other. APIs are a critical component of web development and programming. They provide a way for different applications and systems to communicate with each other, exchanging data and enabling functionalities.</p>
<p>APIs are a software intermediary that allows two applications to talk to each other. They define how a developer should request services from an operating system (OS) or other application, and expose data within different contexts and across multiple channels.</p>
<p>API:- Application Programming Interface</p>
<p>CGI:- Common Gateway Interface</p>
<h2>COMMON GATEWAY INTERFACE (CGI)</h2>
<p>refers to the program that accepts requests on behalf of the server and operates as an interface.</p>
<p>WEB SERVICES is a program that provides CGI functionality. WEB SERVER is the system that runs web services.</p>
<p>As a result, Apache is used as a web server in this case. To configure a web server, Apache provides the program httpd.</p>
<p>WEB PAGE:- The page that shows the code.</p>
<p>WEB APP:- The page that runs code.</p>
<p>WEB CLIENT:- Chrome/ Firefox etc. are known as web clients.</p>
<p>Also, in this task, we use Python as a language so Python is known as SERVER-SIDE LANGUAGE.</p>
<h2>Application Programming Interface (API) :</h2>
<p>Now, let’s look into API:-</p>
<p>In the URL, we offer a PROGRAMME name so that the client may interact with the server via an INTERFACE and run an APPLICATION generally known as API.<br />
CGI assists the client in entering the server, and once inside, it is up to the API to determine which program to run.<br />
Hopefully, this was useful.</p>
