APIfunktsioonidest

APIfunktsioonidest, or API functions, are the building blocks of application programming interfaces. They represent specific operations or actions that a program can request from another program or service through its API. Think of them as verbs in a language that allows different software systems to communicate and interact. When a developer wants to retrieve data, send a command, or perform a calculation using an external service, they call an appropriate API function. Each API function typically has a defined name, a set of parameters it accepts, and a return value that signifies the result of the operation. For example, a weather API might have functions like `getTemperature(location)` or `getForecast(location, date)`. These functions encapsulate complex logic within the service provider's system, making it accessible to other applications in a standardized and simplified way. Properly designed API functions promote modularity, reusability, and interoperability between disparate software components.
