APIs allow for increased integration and automation by enabling systems and applications to connect and share data without needing to be rewritten from scratch. They provide efficiency by allowing content to be published automatically across channels once accessed through an API. There are different types of APIs, including system APIs that unlock core data from within an organization and experience APIs that expose this data for intended audiences to consume through business context and processes.

1. API Architecture

2. • Why we go for API technology
APIs are used to integrate new applications with existing software
Systems. This increases speed development because each development doesn’t have
to be written from scratch.
Automation: Through API, we can update the data through using scheduled job in
SAP.
Efficiency: when access is provided to an API. The content generated can be
published automatically and its available for every channel.
Integration: API is allow content to be embedded from any site or application more
easily.

3. • Application Programming Interface (API) enable the connection between
the system and datasets.
• Different types of API’s for different purposes: from exposing the core
system functionality internally.
• System API: System APIs Unlock data from core system of record within
organization. Example Customer, Billing systems etc.
• Experience API: Experience APIs provide a business context for the data
and processes that were unlocked and established with system and process
APIs. Experience APIs exposed the data to be consumed by it’s intended
audience.
