How Do APIs and Webhooks Foster Digital Integration

Although webhooks and APIs make data syncing and relaying between two applications easier, both of these digital integration enablers use different methods and serve different purposes. Therefore, understanding what APIs and webhooks are and how they can impact business is crucial to driving organizational growth.

APIs vs. Webhooks

API stands for Application Programming Interface, and it enables data and functionality to be shared. For example, you might use a weather API to look up weather conditions by different zip codes or locations and get valuable information. Then you could pair it with a mapping API and use it as a user interface for viewing your results.
