Pearl Diver REST API - FAQ
What is an API?
An API, or Application Programming Interface, is like a middleman between different software programs, helping them communicate with each other. It takes requests from one program, tells another program what to do, and brings back the results. Think of it like a waiter who takes your order, brings it to the kitchen, and then returns with your food. This allows programs to use functionalities of other programs without needing to know how everything works behind the scenes.
