What is an API? Simple Explanation for Beginners

What is an API and why does everyone in tech keep talking about it? In this video, I break it down in the simplest way possible — no tech jargon, just a relatable restaurant analogy! Think of an API as the "waiter" that connects users to services, like sending a request and bringing back the response. Whether you're using Google login or checking the weather, you're interacting with APIs behind the scenes.

If you're getting into IT support, QA, or software testing, understanding APIs is a must. You don’t need to code them — just know how they work and what role they play in modern systems.
