Let's list APIs by accessibility
Thread ๐Ÿงต
1. Open APIs
Open APIs are completely open.
They require no authentication and can be freely used.
They are great for educational and testing purposes.
2. Public APIs
Public APIs are similar to open APIs.
They usually require authentication and may be completely free or paid.
3. Partner APIs
Partner APIs have limited access and can be accessed only by certain parties.
They are usually built for specific purposes.
4. Private APIs
Private APIs are usually built for internal purposes within companies or organizations and cannot be accessed from outside the organizations.
5. Composite APIs
A composite API is a type of web service that combines multiple individual APIs into a single interface.
This can be useful for developers who want to access multiple APIs without managing multiple connections.
6. Unified APIs
Unified APIs are like composite APIs on steroids, bundling together multiple APIs and backend resources into one powerful package.
