Application programming interface
Формальне визначення
API stands for application programming interface: a defined contract of operations, inputs, and outputs that allows one software system to communicate with another.
Простими словами
It is the agreed way systems talk to each other. An API tells a client what it can request, what data it must send, and what response it should expect back.
Приклади
- The web app calls an API endpoint to load link analytics.
- The SDK sends install and event data to the backend through API requests.
Як це працює
- A client sends a request that matches the API contract.
- The server validates the request, performs the operation, and returns a structured response.
- Clients depend on the API staying predictable so integrations do not break unexpectedly.
Як Attriax це використовує
- Attriax exposes APIs for apps, links, analytics, billing, and admin workflows.
- The web dashboard, SDK clients, and internal tooling all depend on consistent API contracts.
- Generated SDK clients in this workspace are derived from the same API contract definitions.
