The Benefits of Application Programming Interface (API)

Introduction
In the field of computer programming, a specific set of protocols, routines and tools are used to create software applications. This set of applications is termed as Application Programming Interface (API).
Through this interface, the expression of a software component is carried out in terms of underlying types, operations, outputs and inputs. This set of protocols defines other functionalities as well, which are independent of their own respective implementations. The sign of an effective API is that it is capable of providing all the basic components of software. Then, all that the programmer has to do; is put the different pieces together.
Examples of APIs:
Some of the examples of Application Programming Interface (APIs) are:
 Aspi
 Cocoa/Carbon particularly for Macintosh
 EHLLAPI
 Java APIs
 DirectX particularly for Windows
 ODBC
 OpenAL
 Open MP
 Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL)
How Can APIs Be Used To Benefit Customers and Vendors?
The use of APIs can be employed in internal (private), based on partnership and open (public) systems in order to bring about improvement in operational processes and also, to create fresh market opportunities.
We utilize APIs in order to assist your clients and vendors, so that they will have easy access to data that is critical for their business. This also aides them in managing their operations and brings out their best performance.
The various benefits of using APIs are as follows:
 Share data easily and effectively
 Share process conveniently
 Increase the awareness of work being done and the services being offered efficiently
 Interoperability (making it easy for systems and organizations to work together)
 Better flexibility and better way of presenting outputs
 Helps in jumping across the information gap between the consumer and the provider
 Saves time
 Cost effective means to stay connected
 Provides for the best way to manage data
 Easy recovery of data in case of data loss/theft
We, at Wolverine Real Estate Services, utilize the advantages of Application Programming Interface in order to reach out effectively to both our customers as well as our clients. We have achieved this by creating a client-facing corporate service that is based on existing data. By having a large pool of API- exposed data pool sets, we make it possible, both for our customers and the vendors, to have smooth communication while they are in pursuit of making their businesses successful.
We have created the perfect portal that makes it easy for our customers to contact us and utilize our assistance in times of need. We assist our vendors in the same way, by giving them a channel, through which they can narrate their suggestions, keep us enlightened about their recommendations, and keep the communication proactive. This helps us in becoming acquainted with any problems that our customers or vendors may face and we address them promptly.
The increased usage of APIs has made it easier for companies across the world to stay in contact and address problems as soon as they appear. This gives both; the business and its customers and vendors the chance to stay in sync and have smooth communication at all times. This is the ideal way to help avoid any pitfalls and miscommunication between the involved parties as well.
