Types of Web API

Hello there, everyone. I'm Kunal, and I prefer to share information with as many people as possible so that everyone can learn alongside me.
I was recently studying about APIs and their various varieties, which I'd like to share with you.

There are four types of APIs:

1. Public API:- Public APIs are available to any developers with a low or moderate level of authentication and authorisation. Any public API must be stable. Any modifications to the public API, such as introducing a new parameter, may cause apps that rely on that API to fail.

2. Private API:- Private APIs, also known as Internal APIs, are exclusively available to developers within a company or organisation.

Private APIs are used for a variety of purposes, including:

• Data Access Across Departments
• Establishing An App-Enabled Business
• Enabling Contractors to Construct Features
• Effectively manage the supply chain

1. Partner API:- Business partners have access to partner APIs. They are not accessible to the general public and require specific authentication to have access to them.

2. Composite API:- Composite API is a design strategy in which numerous API calls are combined into a single API query.

All of this information was obtained via Rapid API. Please check them out and share any thoughts you have in the Comments / Discussions.
