Being able understand and send API requests is helpful in many roles across the business - including product, marketing and data.

By the end of this project, you will understand what APIs are and what they are used for. You will have interacted with a number of APIs, and recognise the different parts which make up an API. You will feel comfortable reading API documentation and writing your own requests.
