API marketplaces

An API marketplace is like a 🛍️ digital supermarket or library specifically for 👩💻 software developers and businesses. Here, they can discover and license ready-made 🧱 software building blocks , called APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Imagine you want to build an app that displays weather data ☁️, processes payments 💳, or displays maps 📍. Instead of programming all these complex functions from scratch, an API marketplace offers pre-developed "services" or "interfaces" that you can easily integrate into your own application.
