Building API Integrations Like a Pro

API integration is a hook into an application that allows applications to talk to another application. The most common way to bring a partner API into your application is through an API integration. The integration takes the application programming interface from one web service or data provider and encapsulates part of its functionality in a way for another application to use it. API clients handle much of the overhead when interacting with an API. API integration can be easier to use with a client or SDK to make integration easier. The benefits of API integration are the benefits of documentation.
