Application Protocol Interface (API) is a protocol that is common. Also, it is common to overlook the power an API has.

API’s are like when computers do the work of 30 people in a room making telephone calls. These “calls” call into databases. These API calls call into other companies.

API calls get you to add value because the room full of 30 people get smarter after the calls are made. The 30 people record and improve and arbitrage whatever they used to have, into something better.

That’s an API call. Two apps with a protocol and an interface.
