API in PHP

On the Internet, special services are often created that distribute certain information to everyone. For example, weather services or currency exchange rate services.

These services provide an API for data access. API refers to a set of URLs that can be accessed to retrieve data.

Such APIs are convenient to use when creating your own website. For example, you can make a website that shows the weather. To do this, it can use an existing third-party API.

It is also often convenient to create an API on your own website on the backend side. And the frontend part of the site will access this API to retrieve and change information.

In this section of the site, we will study how to create your own APIs, what nuances there are, and also learn how to work with third-party APIs, using them in our projects.
