Understanding Web Services / APIs

TYPO3

Description

Web Services / APIs enable different software systems to communicate and interact, facilitating data exchange, integration with external services, and interoperability.

Understanding Web Services involves knowledge of what APIs are, their applications, and the considerations associated with their usage.

Starting with v12 LTS TYPO3 is offering reactions to integrate your website into other systems.

Goals

• I understand the concept of an API (Application Programming Interface) and its role in enabling communication between software systems.
• I can explain the purpose and benefits of using APIs, such as integrating different systems, accessing third-party services, and enhancing functionality.
• I am aware of the potential risks and challenges associated with using APIs, such as security vulnerabilities, reliance on external services, and the need for proper authentication and authorization mechanisms.
• I can evaluate the suitability of using APIs for specific use cases and consider factors such as data privacy, scalability, and long-term maintenance.
• I know about the TYPO3 reactions and webhooks functionality.
