I always wondered if the apps like Uber built their own map from the scratch. Now, I know that they are probably using some API. The many examples quoted in this video are good enough to grasp the concept really well. Thank you!

I think they are using the Google maps api, they have a ton on info about it, check out maps api on google

I quit my job at MacDonalds after realizing i am an api

Isn't that what society is? Being APIs for each other.

I laughed way harder than I should

That's actually a great example, I'm going to use that restaurant example in the future.

After trying to figure this out for a few years, you made it extremely simple in just 7 minutes. VERY WELL DONE SIR! Thanks

You do a good job of applying real life examples and giving the full spectrum

Simply Explained: It made my Mind Open. As a newly becoming Software Engineer, I used to think how difficult it might be to "Communicate" between Apps, like Maps, and such. As I wanted to use the power of already existing Apps. Now I came to know there are so-called, "APIs" available which let us Interact with applications. Thank you for such a wonderful, complete and comprehensive information, Explained Simply :)

I don't know how many videos I had watched(before watching this explanation) to understand this concept. This video gave me the clarity that I was always looking for. Thank you very much!!

Great to hear!

It's sometimes challenging for me to grasp complex technical issues (I have a background in political sciences) and normally I need 3-4 videos/sources to understand something but you explained it so well that I don't need to watch the other ones. Big time & brain energy saver so thanks a lot.

god! when i was attempting to learn about VPNs and the different types and different mechanisms! i had to watch 5 different videos until one made sense and explained it in a very simple fashion (search VPN mailbox explanation in youtube) and this made perfect sense!!

Thank you! My background is in power engineering, but a set of models I have come across have required me to delve into some basic programming/database applications! Just understanding some of these terms that are being used really helps me be able to work through these manuals a lot easier!

From a buzz word to a relatively good understanding in 45 seconds. That's the one statement that has been the most valuable in understanding API for me. Well done.

Thank you for helping the non-developers and beginners understand what an API is

The true geniuses of the world are those who can take what's complicated and make it immediately understandable when teaching with creativity. 🎨 I will also be adopting this analogy! Thank you!

I can't say thank you enough for that great presentation. God bless you. I would subscribe to your channel because of this video alone.

Another great video 👌 will help a lot of the new developers.

Really fantastic and clear instruction. Thank you for producing this!

Awesome! I'm a prgramming newbie, the animation to display what the APIs work is very clear for me!

Thank you for sharing this information. Lately I have had to keep date with this type of information since I am running an online business with facebook, I was concerned with the Apps Modes and while reading along the instructions I realized I had not ideas what and API was. I highly appreciated that you haven taken the time to educate us.

Thanks for the explanation. A few years ago, I started learning API but became disinterested because it was taught in a complex way. Now that I have watched your video, I am thinking about learning it again.

Thank you for the video! Of all the videos on KZread, this is an understandable video, straight for those people who do not fumble. Thanks a lot!

Excellent tutorial. You definitely understand your stuff to be able to explain it so clearly. Well done!

Thanks a lot! Nice metaphor (the restaurant one): It makes things clearer. :)

This is one of the best explanations I have seen yet. Great job and thank-you for putting this out there

What a great video. Restaurant analogy is perfect. So easy to understand. Thank you!'

Wow! This is the first time I finally understood the API thing. Wow I'm so excited. I feel superiority that I finally knew a lot of behind the scenes things. Thank you!

I did not expect that cambridge analytica tie in, I love that this was mentioned, not enough people know about it! Thanks for the video!

It's great to have subtitles. I can understand the video by translating it into my own language. Thanks so much again :)

This is by far the best explanation to the topic that I have watched

This video gives smart and various exemples, I feel really confident talking about API now thank you !

Thank you for the straight forward and easily digestable explanation!

Super helpful and simple example. Saw another video before this using the waiter example, but this one hit different. Great video

This was so helpful and clear - just what I needed! Thank you!!

Thank you so much. This is was I needed, a quick and clear explanation!

FANTASTIC VIDEO! Well done. You covered everything in an easy to understand and relative way. Would love to hear what negative things were said about this. I can't imagine what they would say.

Well explained. After searching many videos I finally got it with your video. Appreciate your efforts how simply you explained. Thank you so much.

This video has been able to give me the basic knowledge on API. Thanks a lot

Very clear and simple explanation of an api, thank you so much!

Actually signed in to give this video a 'like' - that's how good it is!!!

Perfect, I watched it till the end simple and clear

Best explanation I've ever had about APIs

Excellent simplified explanation of API! Thanks! 👍🏻

Wow!!! Thanks for this great explanation!

Thank you for simplifying this subject..

That was a great explanation. Now I feel llike I know what an API is. It's a tool that connects apps to the system in order to hide complexity and make our lives easier. Plus, rather than painfully having to figure out access a user's data through our own methods, we can use the system.

Thank you so much! The google definition confused me. This video was great and I really appreciate this level of effort. Thank you!!!!

Thank you! As a content writer you made it so clear Love it.

Thanks for the video. It was really helpful to me as a student!

Very well explained. Thank you!

I cannot thank you enough for the analogies! The comparisons really allow that "aha" moment :)

This is a nice video. This helped solidify my understanding of API.

Thank you for all the information which for me is COMPLETELY NEW! Actually, the analogy of the waiter is great!

That was a perfect explanation! Thanks for the video!

the best API explanation thanks a bunch guys!

Excellent explanations. I'm bookmarking this one.

you're Cleary explaining. Thank you

This is brilliant, truly simple!!!! Please add some videos on API

Earlier computer 'application programs' (as distinct from 'system programs') were independant coding entitities aimed at performing tasks for computer users. A program consists of a 'front-end' (interaction with the user) and a 'back-end' (interaction with data repositories). But as networking increased, application programs interlinked to each other, blurring the distinction between front-end and back-end. Programs communicate with other programs and the API is the interface they use to communicate with each other.

This was really helpful, and the illustrations looked great. One question: is it considered polite to tip your API 20%? 🤓

this video is fantastic! It finally makes sense!

As a seasoned developer, some of the new terms were unfamiliar to me. This video was extremely helpful with great graphics and realistic examples. Thank you so much!

very helpful! thank you for this video!

Thank you very much for the explanation It really did a lot

Super helpful video and analogy. Thank you

😍😍😍What a simple and wonderful explanation ❤Warm regards to you from my depth heart

Excellent explanation! Thank you!!

Great explanation. Liked and subscribed.

What helped clarify it to me is this: An API is just a function. A developer writes a function/script and may let others interact with that function (give Input/see Output) through the web. It can do anything a function can do. If these examples help others, that's great, but it leads me a bit astray from what API's actually are.

Great explanations.Well done!

Very clearly explained, thank you.

That's a Great Explanation.. Thank you

This is really good! Thank you!

Super insightful video!
