API

Application Programming Interface

The interface that lets two systems talk to each other and exchange data.

Définition

An API is a standard doorway that lets one piece of software query another: fetch products, create an order, update stock. It is the basis of every integration between systems. Odoo exposes a full API (XML-RPC, JSON-RPC), which is what makes connectors possible.
