Although APIs are the foundation of contemporary software, working with them frequently feels more difficult than it needs to be. The explanation, documentation, and support of APIs are the issues, not the APIs themselves. This blog will cover the common problems developers face with APIs and their documentation, the difficulties they encounter when integrating them, and how Swytchcode is helping our understanding and use of APIs.
