Ask the Expert 什么是API

什么是API?

一个API, or Application Programming Interface, is the way software talks to other software and enable data to flow seamlessly between systems. We’re all using api today, whether on Facebook, Amazon and every other major platform. If you made a reservation on Open Table or used Trip Advisor to plan a vacation, odds are the maps you see were created by someone else and are being accessed through an API.

In financial services, api and open or shared banking models in the U.S., Europe, East Africa and Asia are dramatically transforming those markets and ecosystems. api will spark a significant change in the way the industry operates across the retail, institutional and 帖子-trade areas. In the past and still today, financial firms spend lots of time and money developing applications for clients to conduct business. But these applications tend to be inflexible. You can’t use them the way you wanted to; you have to use them the way we tell you to.

This shift in expectations has led to the growth of client-empowered finance in recent years, and 帖子-trade will need to follow suit. So, what does this mean for the future? It’s much more likely that providers will create the digital platforms and api that will allow clients to interact with each other the way they want to do it.

At 存, we’ve already begun this transformation.
