WordPress Plugins and Integration APIs

What are plugins?

Plugins are code components or programs that are installed in WordPress to expand or extend the functionality that comes by default, making it more robust and adaptable to your needs.

There are many free and paid plugins on the market, however, there will be projects that require custom development to meet some of their needs and features of them. It is here where it becomes very important to have the possibility of developing custom plugins for WordPress.

What is an Integration API?

API is the acronym used for Application Programming Interface. It is a series of applications that allow the construction of an intelligent interface, configuring a means by which two systems can communicate with each other.

This interface is responsible for the communication between the resources necessary for the good performance of the software. In a few words, the APIS work as intermediaries of the communication between systems or platforms, facilitating the exchange of data between them, allowing in this way, their integration and operation.

In some projects, you will have the need to establish communication between your website and other systems or applications, so that they exchange information.
