It’s the stuff that lets your products and services communicate with other products and services without having to constantly build new connectivity infrastructure.</p><p>APIs can be private (for internal use only), partnered (shared with specific partners to provide additional revenue streams), or public (allowing third parties to develop apps that interact with your API to foster innovation). Choosing to share your APIs has several benefits, including:</p><ul><li>Creating <a href="/en/topics/api/what-is-api-monetization">new revenue channels</a> or extending existing ones.</li><li>Expanding the reach of your brand.</li><li>Facilitating open innovation or improved efficiency through external development and collaboration.</li></ul><h3>What about RESTful APIs, and SOAP?</h3><p>Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Representational State Transfer (REST) are two efforts that have helped make APIs simpler in their design and more useful in their implementation. As web APIs became more popular, SOAP was developed to help standardize message formats and requests—it is a protocol specification that makes it easier for apps in different environments or written in different languages to communicate. REST, on the other hand, is an architectural style. REST relies on 6 guiding principles that are ultimately simpler to follow than a prescribed protocol. For this reason, RESTful APIs are becoming more prevalent than SOAP.</p><p>Want to know more?</p></div></div><div class="rh-group-footer" ><div class="rh-group--layout" ><div class="rh-group-body" data-rh-layout="min-stacked" ><span class="rh-cta--component" data-rh-cta-type="secondary" ><a class="rh-cta-link" href="/en/topics/api/what-are-application-programming-interfaces" data-analytics-linkType="cta" >Keep reading<span aria-hidden="true"><svg data-name="Layer 1" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 36 36"><title>Icon-Red_Hat-Directional-A-Black-RGB</title><path d="M29.74 17.95v-.1a.9.9 0 0 0-.03-.086c-.01-.025-.016-.05-.027-.075a.72.72 0 0 0-.148-.223l-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5a.75.75 0 1 0-1.06 1.06l2.86 2.86 2.86 2.86H7a.75.75 0 0 0 0 1.5h20.19l-2.22 2.223-3.5 3.5a.75.75 0 1 0 1.06 1.06l3.5-3.5 3.5-3.5c.007-.007.01-.016.016-.023a.738.738 0 0 0 .147-.22l.005-.02a.76.76 0 0 0 .045-.236.23.23 0 0 0 .007-.03c0-.017-.008-.032-.01-.05z"/></svg></span></a></span></div></div></div></div>  <div class="rh-group--layout" data-rh-content-size=xl data-rh-border=bottom data-rh-layout="stacked" ><div class="rh-group-body" data-rh-layout="min-stacked" ><header class="rh-standard-header--component" ><div class="rh-standard-header-container"><h2 class="rh-standard-header-headline-medium pfe-jump-links-panel__section" id="what-you-can-do" nav-label="What you can do" >What can you do with APIs?</h2></div></header><div class="rh-generic--component" ><p>APIs are about <a href="/en/topics/integration">integration</a>—the connection of data, applications, and devices across your IT organization so that all of your technologies can better communicate and work together.
