An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and specifications used to communicate between two applications. In simple terms, an API allows one program to interact with another program. For example, you can create an app that lets users send messages to each other through Face...
Most modernclient-serverprotocols operate between a web browser and a server or an app and an application programming interface (API). APIs are implemented on top of the base protocol, Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). HTTP is implemented on top ofTCP, which ensures that datapacketsare deliver...
Whether a user is using social networks, shopping online, or booking a flight, an API delivers a user response to a system before sending that response back to the user. For example, when you add a product to your cart online, it is an API that communicates with the website, telling t...

Why API design matters Good API design is critical for successful API use.Software architects spend considerable time reviewingall the possible applications of an API and the most logical way for it to be used. Thedata structuresand parameter values are of particular importance, as they must match...

Intent Recognition using pattern matching: Non-json characters inside models now loads properly. Fix hanging issue when recognizeOnceAsync(text) was called during continuous...
An API is a set of rules or protocols that enables software applications to communicate with each other to exchange data, features and functionality.
What is minimal API? If you've developed a .NET web API, you've used an approach that uses controllers. The idea is to have a controller class method, which represents various HTTP verbs, perform an operation to complete a specific task. For example,GetProducts()would return products by ...
The goal is always to establish an agreement or contract through which different pieces of code can exchange data with each other. A Web API has the same goals. But rather than using the mechanisms in the programming language to enable the communication, we use (sometimes built-in) libraries...
API abuse can take many forms, from unauthorized access and data breaches to DDoS attacks and spamming. To prevent API abuse, it is essential to implement robust API security measures.
