You put lot information in a very small video that is not an easy task for someone. It requires lot of skills and experience to make this kind of clear and crystal explanation about one confusion topic so anybody could understand in an easy manner. Thanks a lot for sharing very beautiful information. God may increase your knowledge
"API enables communication between different applications" Thank you for being the first person to give an understandable explanation. I kept running into video after video giving vague descriptions of what an API does by using the Waiter and Chef analogy, without ever explaining they were representing applications.
A much simpler way to understand what an API is, imagine you login to your Bank and do all the activities there - wire funds to another account, transfer, view balances, search a transaction by a specific amount or date, etc. This is User Interface, or UI. Now imagine you are a big company and have hundreds or thousands of daily Bank transactions. Inputting, handling and managing them manually would be a herculean task, very time consuming, would need a lot of people to manage these tasks manually, hence costly, as well as will be prone to error when you want to bring these bank transactions to your company's accounting ledger, like an ERP system. So, to facilitate this, most Banks provide secure digital interface with exactly same feature as you can perform via a UI. This digital feature is what is called an API. More appropriately, we will say that such and such features are implemented or exposed by a specific application (in our example the Bank) via APIs.
This is one topic which has so much information available on the internet including on youtube and yet i find myself continuing to come back to search for it again and again because something stays amiss. Thank you for this wonderful video and must I say that your style of speaking is very soothing and genuine. No flamboyance, only pure knowledge. You keep it real. Thanks.
You are the best teacher I am looking for these many years... Subscribed ur channel in the first video itself and am gonna watch all ur videos without miss from scratch... Hats off Sir.
@RaghavPal Its very difficult to explain correct thing in a simple way and you are really very good in it. The question what is an API is difficult to explain but the way you explained it is awesome. I can explain it very easily to anybody else now.
You are a fantastic teacher and you are doing an amazing deed with free accessibility to your content. Appreciate it. 🙏🏼 will definately recommend and share your video to all newbies who are trying to get into IT.
@@RaghavPal You are welcome Raghav. A quick question - as I am a PL/SQL developer, how can I use Webservices or APIs in Oracle? if you have the know-how, where is the starting point for me or where should I begin? Please let me know.
Mr. Pal, thanks for all you do.. What a nice tutorial. In fact, the best tutorial I've seen on APIs. I've been stuck for some weeks now because I wasn't understanding how and what to begin with on Payment Integration but with this tutorial, you have explained so much to me. Thank you.
Very simple presentation and perfect example as well. Subscribed ! Also an API maybe used if you don't want to create a functionality from scratch because it already exists (LOGIN for example) so you might want to use OAuth or some other login service that already exists and handles security protocols, etc for you without having to worry about encryption, data security , etc. So using an API can save you some time as a developer and complications in your project. :)
This is a very good video to understand API, In fact, the best so far. This is a short but straight to the point video while extinguishing any confusion about what API is.
Hey Raghav.. Loved your videos.. It would be great if you could make series of videos for API testing. But to be honest your videos and way of teaching and showing real time examples .. great!!
Well and carefully explained tutorial. I like your approach man! You definently deserve more subscribers. Thank you i was so confused with this whole API's configurations and never really understood what are they and what are they used for but thanks to people like you now i have a general idea. Now its time to implement them :) Keep girnding and happy coding ! :)
Hi Raghav , nice video , keep up your good work. In this video there is no API questions and answers covered , but your title mentions it. Please don’t add uncovered topics in your title thanks
You are awesome, you are given a lot of information about API, which is a very simple way and just within 8 minutes. Thanks for the simple API definition.
Hi Raghav, very nicely explained the basic of API with a usecase in a 8 min video. I will look for more videos of yours if you have deep dived into APIs
You put lot information in a very small video that is not an easy task for someone. It requires lot of skills and experience to make this kind of clear and crystal explanation about one confusion topic so anybody could understand in an easy manner.
