It’s hard to find a web or mobile system that doesn’t have API (Application Programming Interface) in its development — even to deliver rounder products to users. Not to mention that the development of many solutions is only possible because of these applications.

Today, APIs help by facilitating the integration between systems with different functions without losing security. I chose the most functional (and the most used) APIs that can make your job easier!

1. Watson API

Watson is an IBM API that is growing a lot due to its various functionalities and, mainly, for betting on artificial intelligence. The tool already involves several other APIs to help in understanding, for example, images, sounds, and texts.

How to do this? Simple! Just introduce the training set you use, and Watson learns to answer the questions that arise. The solution has a complete tab to view information traffic over a period of time and the most frequent intentions and entities — the Improve. Furthermore, it is simple to make context variable definitions and find/organize nodes in specific content folders.

2. Dropbox API
