Synopsis (short abstract) API stands for Application Programming Interface (API) – and the keyword here is interface. In other words, APIs allow two or more digital applications or services to share data and information. Most people use APIs everyday without knowing it. Each time you use an app on your phone or computer, you are using an API to send data and/or information from one app to another. The HiH Geospatial Platform heavily relies on communication between multiple APIs to allow different components to interact with each other, resulting in the numerous services available to users.
