Comprehensive Definition
An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that allows two different software systems to communicate with each other automatically and securely. In the logistics sector, APIs are the "bridge" that connects the WMS to other business pillars, ensuring that information flows without the need for manual file imports.
