- A web API or Application Programming Interface is an API
accessed using the HTTP protocol. Web APIs often deliver data
formatted as JSON.
- A web API can be accessed programmatically using JavaScript.
The API documentation must first be consulted in order to
understand how the API works and what it returns.
- Use jQuery to post AJAX requests asynchronously
