What is API (Application Programming Interface)?
An API is a set of rules and tools that lets different software applications talk to each other. In messaging, APIs allow businesses to integrate messaging platforms like WhatsApp or Instagram into their own tools and systems. It's like a translator that helps your systems communicate with messaging platforms.
Why API (Application Programming Interface) Matters
- Integrate messaging into your existing business tools
