What’s an API, and why is it important for integrating services?

An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of definitions and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. APIs are essential for building and integrating services because they provide a standardized way to access and interact with the features and data of another application.

What does it mean if an API is ‘RESTful’?

A RESTful API is one that adheres to the constraints of REST (Representational State Transfer) architectural style. This is important because it ensures that the API follows standard practices for managing resources and working with stateless communications. RESTful APIs are popular among developers because they are simple, scalable and can be used across different platforms.

What’s the JSON format and why is it commonly used for APIs?

JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight format used for storing and transporting data in APIs. It is easy to read and write, making it a preferred choice for data exchange between clients and servers.

What’s the difference between Moneris API and the new Moneris Developer Portal?

Moneris API is a set of protocols, routines, and tools that allows different software applications to communicate with each other to enable developers to integrate specific Moneris Gateway functionalities/use cases into their own applications. The new Moneris Developer Portal is a centralized platform providing developers with the tools, resources and information they need to integrate with Moneris’ APIs. It essentially acts as an API hub through which developers can interact with, and learn about, our APIs.
