Types of API
 

APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are sets of rules enabling software communication. Types include open (publicly accessible), partner (restricted access), private (internal use), REST (simple, scalable), SOAP (complex, secure), and GraphQL (efficient data fetching). They facilitate data exchange and integration between applications.

Good summary! I have seen integration change with moving approaches from SOAP's strong security to REST's usability and GraphQL's effectiveness. REST has tended to be my choice for scalable operations; when the need comes for complex queries, GraphQL can be a game-changer. How have you experienced both of these work in high-traffic scenarios?
