An API acts as the intermediary software that sends a request to a server and subsequently transmits the server's response back to the client. It acts as a secret passage connecting various software systems, enabling them to communicate, collaborate, and exchange information seamlessly.

Many organizations power business operations with self-hosted software. Self-hosted or on-premise software runs on a server owned by you or your organization, whereas a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider manages deployed software using cloud services.
