Overview
API is an acronym for Application Programming Interface, which is a set of definitions and protocols for building and integrating software applications.
How do APIs work?
APIs allow your product or service to communicate with other products and services without knowing how they are implemented. It saves time and money by simplifying app development. As you design new tools and products - or manage existing ones - APIs let you simplify design, administration, and use, while providing opportunities for innovation.
Storefront API
Storefront APIs can be used to retrieve product and collection information from Shopper pages. The Storefront API allows you to showcase your products on collections on web application and apps.
